Any time you shoot under par on the South Course, you're very happy. They made that course into a monster, especially with the rough they have. |
Chili-dipping is very easy, put it that way. |
Everybody wants to start the year on a good note, because it usually carries through the rest of the year. |
Golf got very boring. We brought back colors and better cuts and now everybody does it. I even saw Tiger wore a pink shirt when he won in San Diego. Then I thought my mission was accomplished. |
He could be the next Casanova superstar on tour. The girls love him. He's fresh, has a lot of charisma, and he's fun. |
I didn't know what to expect coming into this week, |
I don't think anyone else is going to chip in twice in one round. Period. |
I felt like I was playing fairly well at the beginning of the year but nothing happened. I couldn't hole any putts so I was finishing 35th every week. |
I guess it's better to be seven behind one guy than 15 guys like you usually are when you're seven behind. He has to do something bad, let's just put it that way. |
I had a great year going in 2000, |
I never felt like a pioneer. I didn't think it would come this far, where you see everybody going in that direction. I didn't think it would be this fast. But it's fun. |
I said the heck with it, I'm going to surrender. And I gave in. The game got me. I was trying so hard, but didn't win. I gave up pretty much -- not gave up, but I decided I was going to take a break and see what happens. |
I shot 65 in the first round. When you're not playing well, you're almost afraid of going to the first tee. Even if you shoot 65, you know tomorrow it could be any score. Now I have the confidence back that I'm going to play well every day. |
I spent seven or eight hours on the range (Wednesday) and at the end, I found something that worked for me. You have to be able to hit the driver straight or forget about it. Today I felt great with the driver. |
I think they charged me about $20,000 for it. The kids sort of thought it was fun, because there were animals in the barn and so on. |
