Now you can be aggressive. You know you're going to have to make birdies out here now with the greens this soft. Guys are going to be firing at the pins now. |
Obviously (I must) get off to a better start. The course is soft and the greens are receptive. You still have to get it done. |
Obviously, I am very much in contention. |
Obviously, we both didn't play very well, ... I can't speak for him, but as I said, I had a two-way miss and couldn't find a fairway that's 300 yards wide. If you're hitting it both ways, it's tough to play. |
Of course, that's understandable. Any time a family member is struggling, that's the most important thing in life. And dad's health is getting better, but there's still always a concern. What child isn't concerned with his parents? |
Oh, the crowd is absolutely incredible. Each and every year they come out and support this event. It's got a very local feel to it, and it's always so much fun to play in front of these people here. |
OK, ... What are my options? |
Okay, you need to do this with the ball. I am hitting it like this. |
On every hole you could say there was something I did wrong, |
On six, I got lucky. I had a gap, and I just tried to put the ball up there somewhere on the green. I had a shot to the green, I was just hoping I didn't catch a limb and it came out clean. |
On this course, the way it's playing, it's not easy. It's hard to take it deep on the South Course. |
Once David Toms had made his mistake, I just said anything in the back bleachers, right bleachers, anything (out of the water) is all I had to do, just trying to make 5. I wasn't even trying to make par. |
Once I got to the 11th green, I saw D.T. had made birdie at 10 and 11 and drew within one. I told Steve (Williams) that I needed to bury this putt and see if we can get some kind of cushion. |
Once I threw up in the bushes behind the first green, I felt a lot better, |
One of the things that my parents have taught me is never listen to other people's expectations. You should live your own life and live up to your own expectations, and those are the only things I really care about it. |
