At least I know you don't have to shoot 65 to try to win. |
At the moment I have to stay off my feet as much as possible but hopefully I'll be fit enough to do a bit of chipping and putting soon. |
Basically it's the only sensible course of action, so that I can be sure of the promptest recovery period. |
Basically, it takes the best player who's on form to win this tournament. The conditions here, maybe, make more difference than at a lot of places. When it gets a little firmer, the second shots become probably the toughest on Tour because the greens are very small and there's only certain areas where you can go with your second shots. In that regard, it doesn't matter longer or shorter hitter. Accuracy is at a premium. |
Before the injury, I had been playing professional golf for the best part of 16 years without any really long breaks. The last time I had a long break was in 2001 when I was out for five or six weeks with a back injury. |
Being on the sidelines is really not my idea of fun, but that's the way it is, |
Chad's going to be very tough to beat. It seems like he's gone up a level this year. He's almost a golfing machine, so to speak. He's a very good ball-striker and it seems like he's putting well. |
Club selection was the most difficult part of the game today. It seems like it changes all the time. You've got to get your yardage and stick to a club that you're comfortable with and go with that. If you miss those greens on the flags on top, it's very difficult to get it up and down. |
Ernie told her there was no need to wait, as he thought she was ready to turn pro, ... He spoke mostly to Michelle, but also had a word with her dad, whom he told the same thing. |
Exactly. That's where Jos really helped me a lot. I've got to hit my shots. I have to play my game. We weren't even talking about Tiger ever -- or any other player, for that matter. Jos was just trying to brainwash me and get me to go from A to B. And that's all I must concern myself about. |
Experience is going to be big, even more than it used to be, because you're coming in with longer clubs and you've got to hit certain areas more than you used to. Over four days it's going to narrow the field dramatically. |
Felt I should have won that one, to be honest with you. |
Freddie was coming on then, and I saw Tiger was coming on then, and the whole field was kind of scoring at that stage and I was kind of stalling, ... It was getting to me a little bit. |
Got a lot of good memories from this place. I'm hoping the Blue Monster will inspire me; kind of get my game moving into top gear. |
He just goes out and goes about his business. So I think Phil, almost more than Tiger, has got more Masters in him, maybe. |
