I guess it's the golf course. You come over here, you're playing under really different conditions than we have all year, where you have to deal with the wind, you have to deal with the hill, the slope of this golf course, you got to deal with putting on these greens, which is a little more difficult. |
I had a terrible West Coast swing but I've figured some things out and I'm feeling pretty good heading into this week. |
I had some opportunities that I took advantage of, but missed a couple and made a couple of really good saves. |
I like this kind of golf course, ... I love when you see at the end of the tournament that the top 25 is a mixed with different types of games. I think that means they have a good golf course and a good setup. |
I played good, but still, it's the timing, ... There just weren't that many putts made. |
I played the Buick at Flint with Tiger and he was air mailing me 50 to 60 yards every shot. |
I really feel like I can help the Champions Tour. But at the same time, I'm competitive out here. It's kind of hard to say, okay, that's over and let's go to a new chapter. But I'm not sure. I'm going to have to re-evaluate. |
I still feel like I'm getting better, |
I think they should be here. .... If you qualify for one of these, you got to be laying on your death bed before you can't come to one of these events. It really hurts the field. |
I was hoping he'd win because I would've been part of history, part of the Grand Slam, and he's a good friend, |
I work at it really hard, ... I try to take care of myself. I'm focused. I want to play. I think that's the biggest difference. Age doesn't really matter. |
I would have given 95 per cent that Tiger would have made that, |
I would think 99.9 per cent of the guys love this course because we don't play many like this. If you play well, you can score. |
I'd say normally any TOUR event is close. It's very rare that any of them are runaways. The guys are pretty evenly locked. It's very seldom a guy gets on a roll with his putter to the point where he can really separate himself from the field like Tiger (Woods) has done a few times and Ernie did here, and Duval. |
I'll be the homeboy for the week, ... That will be exciting. |
