I was a deer in the headlights two years ago. I couldn't find any rhythm at all. I was too busy paying attention to him and not enough to what I was doing. And I wasn't enjoying the day. |
I wear soft spikes, so no problem. I am Switzerland. I take no sides. Vijay and I get along great. We talk all the time, so I'm going to enjoy playing with him. I only hope I can play as well as him. |
I went from summer yardages to winter yardages in one hole. |
I'm a little wiser, obviously a little older, more experience, and I'm really starting to not sweat the small stuff. I was a completely different person than I am now. |
I'm just got past the point of making a big deal out of this stuff and just going out about my business and just trying to commit to every golf shot, hit it, go find it and hit it again. |
I'm just taking it all as a learning experience. I know I'll be back. |
I'm real disappointed in the way I finished. |
Is the length intimidating? Well, when you're playing with Phil [Mickelson] like I was yesterday and he was hitting 50 yards by you, and he's hitting 7-irons where you're hitting 4-irons, then yeah, it's a different game. It's hard. Very hard. |
It changed a lot. I knew the fog was coming, it was just a matter of when. I was kind of prepared for it. |
It just goes to show you what this golf course can do - all you need is one poor swing and you're writing six on the card. I'm not the first person who's done that, I guarantee you, and I certainly won't be the last. |
It used to be, just get up there and rip the driver as hard as you could. Now you have to think on that tee. I'm going to hit 3-wood and then 8-iron or 9-iron. |
It was going to happen. The fact that my first (PGA Tour win) happened this week, at this tournament, is extremely special. |
It was my brain. My swing was out of sync and my putter was a detriment. It would be scary if I had my game together, because I think I could really be doing something. |
Now I want to win on the PGA Tour, and I think I can contend in a major, too, if I stay healthy. My confidence is high. |
Phil showed me a lot of stuff on the back nine that I wouldn't have picked up on my own. He's out there to win the tournament, so it was really nice of him to do that. |
