You have to. You shoot even-par and you get run over around here. |
You just cannot give away shots like that. I turned a great round into just another round. It was very frustrating. |
You know it's how it was supposed to be played. It's what the Ryder Cup used to be before it got out of control. |
You know with these greens being this smooth, good putts go in. |
You know, all the nay-sayers said that I was doing the wrong things. They can understand why now I made those changes. |
You know, I feel sorry for the gentlemen that got hurt there, |
You know, I have so much more confidence now in my driving ability than I ever have in my career, |
You know, this course's length does eliminate a lot of the guys who can't hit the ball long and high, |
You look at the past, once they have made the changes especially, look at the winners, they have generally been really good ball strikers. |
You look down that list, you can't really say that guy was a chop ball-striker. You have to hit every single golf shot. Plus, this golf course, you have to manage your game so well. The majority of the winners who have come through here are major championship winners. |
You might not say that if you knew my record. |
You never would have guessed that Goose would have done what he did, |
You try to get them close, and maybe they go in. |
You're going to have to be aggressive and fire a lot at the flags. The ball is not rolling anywhere and you only have to watch the ball from spinning back too much. With the conditions, you have to be aggressive and make some birdies because the guys are going to be aggressive. |
You've got some of the best players in the world, and you're playing one of the greatest golf courses that we play all year, and it's a golf course that could host a major if they ever wanted to, |
