chipping course golf good hours hurt knees range start takes three time walk work
It takes time to start where I started and try to work off all the flab. You have to give something up, and to me it was always the kind of thing that, 'Well, I can't do it because I've got to work on my game. I've got to work on my chipping, work on my driving. I've got to do something with my game.' I said, 'You know what, it's not going to do me any good at all if I can't walk the golf course because my knees hurt so bad.' I'll give up three hours a day of chipping or three hours on the range to make it so my knees don't hurt.
last ok seen
Is it OK to play the last two holes? I haven't seen them yet.
earn love
The way I look at it is I would love to earn my spot.
definitely great mix team
The team at Brookline definitely had it. Definitely had it. It was a great mix of guys.
career decide either golf love point serious time
You get to a point in your career where you either decide it's time to get serious and make some changes, or you quit. I love golf too much, and there's too much to play for to quit.
accept both captain love work
I would love to be a part of it as both a captain and a player. If it doesn't work out that way, I can accept that.
beat catch change coming great knowing maybe mentally mindset pass
He's a great player, he's mentally strong, he doesn't beat himself. Therefore, if you're going to beat him, you've got to beat him?he's not going to lose. I think that does maybe ... change your mindset knowing that if you're behind, you've got to catch him and pass him?he's not coming the other way.
position spot
I'd like to be in a position to give my spot up if I had to.
biggest bit difference game good great hit move short
You have to move it out there a little bit off the tee, but I think the biggest difference is that you have to hit it straighter. Even with the changes, I still think it's going to come down to having a great short game. It is longer, but if the short game is working, it's going to be a good week.
aussie flag nice side
I've got one Aussie flag on the side of my car. It would be nice to have two.
proud
It's very satisfying. I'm proud that I've done it, but I'm embarrassed I didn't do it 15 years ago.
definitely hurts
That kind of thing definitely hurts a tournament.

It was a very, very surreal experience. You don't have guys shooting at you very often.
