Andy has been very helpful because he has helped me play my game and pinpoint exactly where and where not to land the ball, ... I could rely on the fact that he had 25 years of experience and emotionally that was the biggest factor. |
As far as my putting, literally 10 minutes before I went out for my first round, this feel came back to me like in 2002. That same feeling came back to me. I was able to carry that throughout the tournament. |
His irons are playing great right now, so he's actually going to be attacking the third round with aggressiveness, |
I always have a good feeling when I come here. |
I had trouble with my eyes because I was sweating so much and it was getting into the eyes. I'll give it a shot in the last round. My swing still feels good. |
I really focused on my game. In Korea, in all the times, every since the last one, anytime I'm in the last group, I won it except once. |
I'm not worried about that because I'm putting better. That's been caused by my putting. |
I've been working on my putting and I should be able to get out of that slump. |
In my first two events this year, my putting was bad. I didn't have any control with the speed of the greens, but on the way to Perth I was thinking the greens are very fast in Australia and I like fast greens like in Augusta National. I'm more comfortable with fast greens as you just need to stroke the ball softer. |
It's still work in progress right now and if I have a chance to win, I'll be most honored to be in that position. |
My focus today was my iron shots and my putting. The greens are fast here, which is good because I usually like fast greens. I've been feeling good with my putter and I haven't missed many shots. I'm just playing good and making birdies. |
My job here is to open the gateway, I guess, for more competition to come in (on the PGA Tour), ... My standards are what's been set for these new guys to come in. |

This week, the pine trees are very tall and when it's windy, we can see it when we hit the ball. Conditions are good. But it's more softer and better than last week. Last week was very hard greens. |
Today was a very bad day. I double bogeyed eight but the bogey on 10 was the turning point. I hit a good second shot but my third went 10 yards left into the water. After that it was very slow. Tomorrow I still have a good chance to win. |
