Thanks for bringing that up, I never thought of it. When you play golf tournaments you never think about it. When you are playing you try and be ready with your total game and when that is well groomed and practiced you are ready for the tournament. That has always been my philosophy. |
That little bit of rough, it's rough now. You've got to be careful how the ball comes out there. |
That was exciting stuff. They can show that on The Golf Channel every day instead of all that other stuff they show. |
That's been my game plan ever since yesterday evening. |
That's the way I want to play this week. I said to Ricci [Roberts, his caddie], 'I want to play the way you play in U.S. Opens, get the ball in play.' Not always hammer your drive out there. That little bit of rough, it's rough now. You've got to be careful how the ball comes out there. |

That's what I needed to do, ... I made eight birdies ... and, unfortunately, three bogeys. So I'm still making mistakes. But I've got to be happy with that. |
That's what they have done at Augusta. |
The best player who is on form is going to win the tournament. Accuracy is at a premium here and you'd better have your short game. Overall, it's a great test. |
The course has got some teeth. The breeze, it seems like it changes all the time. It was tough to get the right club. |
The golf course beat me up on the back nine today, |
The heat kind of took its toll at the end, ... It was quite muggy and I had a few more chances on the back nine. |

The knee has been very good. I've obviously had to really work hard on little bad habits I got into because of trying to protect the knee a little bit. I think I've gotten over that. |
The rough is pretty thick. It's a half-shot penalty coming out of there. |
