[When Day lined up his 29-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole in the second round of the Western Open, time nearly stood still. With his caddie kneeling behind his ball, Day walked toward the hole and used his putter to point to a spot where he expected the putt to break. Then he circled the hole as if he had to draw up some blueprints. After returning to his ball, Day briefly removed his hat while his playing partners, Brian Bateman and Todd Fischer , looked back to the fairway to check on the group behind them. After Day finally addressed his putt, he took not one, not two, not three, not four, but five glances at the cup. Then he struck the putt well, missing by less than a foot. By this time, nearly 80 seconds had elapsed.] He's a good guy and you don't want to point fingers or anything, ... but [a guy] in the group behind us asked me, 'Was that hole moving for him? It must have been moving.' |
I'm sure there are a lot more important things than just a golf tournament for people to have to go through. I'm glad to see it out here. |
I've had a pretty rough year. Golf is one of those games you can hit it good and you score bad, or you hit it bad and you score good sometimes. This year, I just haven't found the key or the ingredients to get the two together. |
Mathematically, I could get knocked out, but I'd have to be very unlucky on my part to do that, ... just to try to make sure I don't get that unlucky break. |
Those first five holes were pretty nice. Hit it in the fairway, hit it close to the hole and rolled in putts. Pretty simple. |
Vaughn didn't do anything that stellar. |
We don't like to slow the pace down. Against Dwight, we went to a zone to give the girls a bit of a breather and Dwight came back on us. That's not going to happen again. |
What's draining is that every day you're up early and there's no sleeping in. Each day it's getting harder and harder to wake up. We can't control any of that and unfortunately we didn't get to finish and so I'll be up early again. |
You can't control what other people do ? just stay in focus and give it your best shot. |
You've had all year to do it and, hopefully, it doesn't come down to one tournament. |
