Last week I started hitting some good shots. My scores didn't always show it, but I felt like I played well. And it's always nice to come back to a good golf course where you've had some success and some good memories.
champions changed golfer mean national open since tour
Nothing has changed just because I'm getting older. I'm a golfer who has wanted to play in the Open since I was a teenager. Just because I'm on the Champions Tour does not mean that I shouldn't want to play in our national championship.

This was way to long of a drought. These last two wins, it's been kind of sparse. When I first came out here and won five or six events, I was thinking this Champions Tour thing was pretty easy.

coach defense fire good hard hitting next owned prevent shooting strange team total
I have always said if I owned a (football) team and my coach went into a prevent defense, I would fire him the next day. But when you have a seven-stroke lead, it's hard not to. I would not say I went into a total prevent defense because I was hitting some good shots, but I wasn't shooting at pins. It really is a strange mindset.
