I love the challenge and I love coming down the stretch and making the shots you need to, ... It's just the extra excitement, knowing there are just a few holes left and having to hit the perfect shot. That's when all my adrenaline starts kicking in, on the back nine because that's when it matters. |
I love the competition and to see all the young players come up. Their games are getting better and I've got to step up, myself, which I think is good for me. I've got to find new ways to practice and new ways to get better. |
I love the golf course. |
I love this type of stuff because I love being around the guys. |
I met with doctors after returning home to Orlando [in September], and they fixed it, even though it took them four sessions. They used a new therapy called 'Body Talk' and told me I probably got the problems in my hip because of the things I've gone through in my personal life. It was a mental thing that made me fragile in a physical way. All was fine after September. I can swing the clubs like I want now. |
I play this game for myself, and I motivate myself and I have my own goals, and I think I know my limits. I know what I want to achieve. There are a lot of young players coming up, and they are very good. But I also love being in the spot that I'm in, so that keeps me motivated. |
I played four solid rounds of golf and I want to try to finish the season as hot as the way I started it (three wins in a row). |
I prefer walking, but then again this course is very tough to walk. I think using carts was the right thing to do. I think it will speed up play. At the beginning it was tough to get your rhythm. Normally, you have the bag there and you grab a club. Now, you have to find a new system with your caddie. ... For the first six or seven holes, I couldn't really find a rhythm, but then in the end it was fine. |
I prefer walking, but then again, this course is very tough to walk. |
I prepared for 3 1/2 months for that, which was a lot of weight training, a lot of fine-tuning on my swing, a lot of hard word on my short game. I wouldn't say it paid off that particular week, but it paid off down the road, for sure. I think being in the limelight, with the pressure I felt on the first tee, it was just enormous. |
I really did not play very well today unfortunately, ... I hit a few bad shots and it was a tough day at the office really. |
I really didn't know what to expect, ... It's tricky on certain holes and the greens have a lot of different pin possibilities. There was wind yesterday, and today there was no wind. I'm sure we can get a lot of different conditions - it was a little cold this morning and warm in the afternoon. I'm looking forward to it. |
I really don't feel a lot of pressure to perform the way I have the last three years. I just feel good about my game. I just want to come out, have a good time and get a little better here and there. |
I really don't know what to say. One week you're second, the next week you're not on. She didn't even play last week (because there wasn't a scheduled tournament). She didn't even play and she lost her spot. That's tough. |
I really pulled out some clutch shots when I needed to. That's why I love doing this. Coming down the stretch and hitting those shots, there's nothing better. |
