I am not upset. It was great, I loved it. |
I know can play at this level. I've done it enough on the Nationwide Tour and I know there's not a lot of difference in the golf. It's a different stage, but golf is the same. |
I think it's pretty good. You know, I was trying to get to No. 1 last year. I just didn't play well at The Tour Championship. |
I thought it was going to take, 11, 12, 13 [under] to win. Those guys are great players, so you have to keep making birdies. |
I'm having a blast. My first trip in 2000, I didn't let myself enjoy it. I tried too hard. I know what's going on now, and I know I'm going to play well. It may not be [today], but I'm going to have a good year. |
I'm not upset with the way I played. It was great, just great. I loved it. This is why I play the game. This is why I'm a pro. It's a challenge. I can build on this for next time. |
I've been working hard all winter, preparing myself mentally and physically for this spot. It's my third time [on the PGA Tour], and I know I can play at this level. I've done it enough on the Nationwide Tour and I know there's not a lot of difference in the golf. |
Mentally, I've been getting ready for this. So I'm not surprised I'm here. I'm glad it's this early in the season. |
There is no way to re-create that until you are out there. Now I know what to work on in my swing. |
There's no way you can re-create that pressure. You can't do it on the range and can't do it on the putting green until you're out there. I absolutely had a ball. It's good to put yourself under pressure. Now I know what I need to work on. |
