finished five four good hole holes last life lousy messed played round
When you come off that last hole and you've just finished a good round of golf, life is good. When you come off that last hole and you messed it up through four or five holes and just played a lousy round of golf, it's just not a very good day. It just isn't.
course ended five front gives good last magic number season side starts thinking year
You take what the course gives you. After the 30 on the front side today, I started thinking about that magic number and it starts with a five (59). I choked. But it's a good start to the season for me. I ended last year with a 64 and started this one with a 63.
bar beer bruce crying cup island knowing last left might parking sea time
When I left Bruce here last year, he was crying in the parking lot. He thought that was going to be his last Masters. Of course, it was. The last time he caddied for me was at the UBS Warburg Cup on Sea Island last fall. On Sunday, we went to the bar and had a beer together, knowing that might have been the last time, too, which it was.

admire battles coming hit hole jack last man mean meanness treated word
I admire Jack for many things, but especially for the way he always treated our relationship. Jack was never mean in any sense of the word -- there was no meanness in him. So at St. Andrews, coming up the last hole with him, it all hit me: the kind of man he is, the battles we had, and especially, that this was the end. . . . That was very emotional.
came cream crop dominated last open player reason year
Hale has dominated this tour. Probably the only reason I came out of last year as Player of the Year was because Irwin's back went out on him at the U.S. open and he couldn't play for a while. He's the cream of the crop out here.
critical finally flat grateful greens last skill tested
I'm very grateful to have been able to make those critical putts at the right time. The greens tested your skill with the flat stick. I finally got used to in the last round.
golf two lasts
The person I fear most in the last two rounds is myself.
cancer capital carve create direction economic emphasize hoping increase low moving niche research trying
We're moving in the right direction, ... We need to emphasize not just low costs, but amenities like our riverfront development. We're trying to carve out an economic niche with plant-made pharmaceuticals that will create higher-paying jobs. And we're hoping to increase our intellectual capital with cancer research at the hospital's cancer center.
given
I guess I have never been much of a complainer. You just take what is given you, and don't complain about what you can't affect.
I always could putt. Part of my makeup, I always could putt.

From the time I won the Kansas City Match Play championship at age 14, I never wanted to be anything but a golfer.

You don't have to go to church to be spiritual, but there are certain times in your life that you know there is a presence of something very spiritual.

I have a special feeling for Blue Hills CC, where I won perhaps the most important tournament of my life when I was 14 - the Kansas City Match Play Championship. It gave me a dream of becoming a professional golfer.
