I'm not going to beg, ... I'm not the guy to ... get on my knees and say, 'Hey, write good things about me.' ... I have to worry about what I feel and not about what other people feel.
I'm not a fake like many guys out here.
I'm playing really good and I'm hitting the ball very well off the tee. The only part of my game that is not as strong as last year is probably my putting. It's kind of gone down some. I threw away a lot of tournaments this year.

I have not enjoyed it yet. No matter how hard I try, it might be almost an impossible thing to do again. You never know, we'll try again next year and see what happens.
I've got good feelings over here. I've had great success in Houston.
It's just tough out there. The winds were swirling around, and it was difficult to pick clubs.
I told the guys, 'Good, good, good. Let's go to the next tee box.
They tend to take away the advantage of a longer hitter here. You don't just stand on the tee and bomb your drives.
This is not power golf over here. You don't take on the golf course like you do on other major events. You tend to take away the advantage of a longer hitter here. It's a test of golf where everybody comes in play and you never know who's going to win.
The long putts are difficult for me on the green, especially when the wind is blowing. I played decent. I didn't play great.
The conditions are perfect. When it's warm, the ball does go farther and it makes the golf hole a lot shorter. That's why the first hole I hit driver, nine-iron and yesterday I hit a driver, five-iron. So that's the difference with the wind.
The key was hitting more fairways, and when you hit more fairways you get chances for birdies. You can't make birdies from the rough here.
I'm going to go out and play really hard. If I have another win, it will be icing on the cake. But I don't take anything for granted.
