It was good. I played pretty well. I could have made a few more putts, but I'm not going to complain. To shoot 2 under, I was fortunate to go out early (before the wind picked up). |
It would be a lot of fun to win here because of those near misses. Although they seem like quite a while ago, it would be special to win in front of this many fans. |
It's always a little hard to know what's going on behind the re-entry sunglasses there. |
It's fun and the golf course is in perfect shape. There are no excuses. I think all of these things combined have helped me to play well here the last couple of years. |
It's impressive. I don't look at this course and say that it's easy. But then, maybe I'm not playing that well. |
Jeff had a lot of support out here. |
Memories like that help. We all have something like that we can pull upon. Maybe not in a match-play situation, but in some kind of tournament where you did something that maybe you weren't sure you would be able to pull it off. That can become infectious. |
Mr. Nicklaus has done an incredible job. |
Scott's been playing great, I've only been average, ... We volunteered to lead off [today], and we knew who we'd be paired against. We're excited about it. |
The spotlight is as much or more on the celebrities and amateurs as it is on the pros those first few days. To be quite honest, that's kind of nice. |
The third green is pretty severe for a 245-yard par 3. The right side of the green goes up and down. It looks like something I skied down a coupled of months ago. |
This year has been OK. I felt I played really well through the early part of the year. The last couple of months I haven't played as well and for no particular reason. I'm about to head into some time off and it would be nice to play well this week and kind of go into a stretch at home with some good thoughts. |
Tuesday night, I ended up getting sick. I wasn't even sure Wednesday if I was going to be able to play. |
We haven't made enough putts, and they've made way too many. |
With a 36-hole day, one side can get a lot of momentum going. |
