Like clubs, shoes are a vital part of a golfer's equipment, and that's the reason I made the change. |
My gut instinct told me that they kind of had something under their hat and they were going to make a good announcement (Wednesday). I was surprised it was called off. ... As a fan, it's disappointing. ... I love the game, love to watch it, especially this time (of year because) it's getting close to March, April, playoffs start. And there will be nothing to watch on TV. |
My short game held me in there today. I never felt comfortable with my game. There was a lot of waiting around. I never got my rhythm and it was cold. But I had a good par save on No. 6 and I hung in there. |
My wedge game and putting killed me. The greens got firm and I didn't adjust well. |
My wedge game and putting was what killed me. When you hit 13 of 14 fairways and shoot 78, your wedge and putting is not very good. |
Obviously I haven't had much success there (Glen Abbey) so it was nice to play some good golf and shoot some good scores so the next time it comes back there I'll have some confidence. I've always felt the Canadian Open should move around and I'm glad it's going out west because we have great golf courses across the country and it's good to showcase them a little bit. |
Obviously I'm thrilled to be here tomorrow. |
On some of the par-fours I'll be hitting driver, three-iron and other guys will be hitting driver, seven-iron. |
That was the sum of my week, not hitting the fairway enough. |
That's a special part of the Masters, the tradition they have with the champions dinner. I get to sit around and listen to stories from (Tom) Watson and (Jack) Nicklaus and Jackie Burke. There's no other tournament like it. |
That's the key when you do pick a club -- to be decisive. If you make an indifferent swing, you're not sure when you're hitting the shot, you're not going to like what happens. You just have to pick your club and trust it and go ahead and hit it. |
That's the special part about the Masters — the tradition they have. There's no other tournament like it. |
That's what we need, some guys that have done well at their level. I tell them they're far more advanced at their age than I was. I couldn't play like they could when I was in my early 20s. |
The (Bob Hope Chrysler Classic) I played well and I felt like I had a chance to win there. The other two weeks? Not so good. But I've been showing all the signs, all my practicing is going well and I've been very encouraged with a lot of things in my game this year so far. |
The changes are better than I thought. I would like to see them shorten the rough just a little more, especially on No. 11. Other than that, the changes are great. |
