At that point I knew it was just Paul and me. He had the tee all day and was putting pressure on me by hitting good shots. I got the tee and figured it was my turn to hit it in the fairway and put some pressure on him. |
I don't know what the weather was doing up there but a 6-under up there is the leader of the golf tournament. |
I gave myself a lot of opportunities and played really solid. You've got to take advantage of this course when you play it. |
I have a lot more control over my golf ball and my misses are more predictable. You're only as good as your misses. |
I have confidence that I can hit shots I want to under tough conditions. I like my chances because I'm out in front and playing well. |
I sat down after that with my coach to work on some things. There were a few shots I couldn't hit down the stretch. I had trouble in the wind and that led to bogeys. |
I saw some light at the end of the tunnel, but I didn't think it would come like this. Its amazing for it all to come this quickly. I'm in shock and awe. It's nice to have enough money at this point that I can play very aggressively from here on out and try to win another one. |
I think anyone within five shots has a legitimate chance. |
I'm surprised that the changes are so far along this quickly and happy that they held up for four days. This win is so much sweeter because of all the work we did to get to this level. |
It helps to have been there before. It's been a while. I'm better now than I was then. |
That is just experience. Paul was flagging everything but it was all these gray hairs that kept me in it. I knew I was playing well and if I kept doing that I'd have chances to make birdies. This is a difficult golf course and I knew he wouldn't get too far away from me. |
That's really all I want to see of those two countries. I've got no interest in the native wildlife. In fact it will be fine if I don't see any. |
This is a perfect test today. It's nice to have the wind and suddenly be able to hit the shots I wanted to hit. |
Today, I just didn't hit the shots the way I've been doing the first two days. I hit some really good ones, but I also hit some really bad ones. My wedges were awful. I had a few easy ones and I failed to convert every one of them. |
We might have a slight advantage in that respect since we've both won recently but Jeff knows how to win. I hit a lot of good putts that didn't go in today. I burned a lot of edges. I played solid and made very few mistakes with my swing. The good news is that I tried to aim at my foot and shoot it, but I missed it and still have a good chance to win. |
