average fond maybe open
I've always been more fond of U.S. Open setups where you've got to maybe average 65 or 67 to have a chance.
awhile masters open played playing plays soft
We haven't played it like this in awhile where it's been dry. It plays more like a U.S. Open right now than it does a Masters, because lately, the Masters has been playing soft and wet.
ball drives matter open pieces putting saw straight together
Monty drives the ball straight and, as everyone saw at this year's Open at St Andrews, he's still very competitive. It's just a matter of putting the pieces together at the right time.
british near nowhere open won
It's nowhere near what it was in 2000 because I had won the U.S. Open by 15 and the British Open by eight. This year, it's been a little closer,
balls greens masters open picking played playing plugging quick soft
It's playing more like a U.S. Open than a Masters. Lately, the Masters has played soft and wet, with balls plugging in the fairways and picking up mud. That wasn't the case. It was quick and dry, and the greens are picking up speed.
dream gets golf good home open win
This is as good as it gets - to win the Open Championship at the Home of Golf is a dream come true.
atmosphere bit british factor guess major masters media near novelty nowhere open shots talked won year
I think the atmosphere is nowhere near what it was in 2000 because I had won the U.S. Open by 15 and the British Open by eight, so 23 shots in two tournaments is pretty good. This year I've won two major championships. The Masters was a little bit closer, but I won the British by five. The atmosphere is also a little different because I've done this before. I guess from some of the media I talked to the novelty factor is not there anymore; I've already done it.
ball four golf hit irons move nature
We hit four irons off most of the tees but it was just the nature of the golf course. You've just got to put the ball in play and move on.
believe dreams four hard kid opportunity playing thrill winning won
I've won four and, I tell you what, it's hard to believe really, just because it's the Masters. This is something every kid dreams of playing in, and, hopefully, one day even winning it. To have the opportunity to win four already is the thrill of the lifetime.
ball hard hit hitting
I've never hit the ball this far. So hitting a ball this far, it's hard to keep it in the fairway.
disrespect heard offense
I've never heard of him. No offense or disrespect at all. I just didn't know who he was.
course finish golf handle lucky played time tournament weather
I've played well here. But this golf course didn't really handle the weather too well, and this time of year, you get rain. We've been lucky to finish this tournament on time.
feeling hung posted somehow tough
It was tough out there, ... I wasn't feeling all that comfortable with my swing. I hung in there and somehow posted a number.
lands pin second shot
It was an unbelievable second shot through the trees. I mean, come on. He lands it there, just over the bunker, perfect, pin high, ho hum.
