I saw a couple of people tee off No. 1 and Tiger was 30, 40 yards past most people. |
I think a few of the holes you hit good shots and you find yourself on side slopes, but maybe that's what the designer had in mind. On 9 and 10, you can hit good drives down the middle and have an awkward stance in the fairway; I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. It adds character to the hole, for sure. |
I think the way the greens are, you need to be very accurate with your irons. Whether there's wind or not, the most important thing out here is being able to control the distance of your irons and the direction. I've done that pretty well the last couple of days. |
I was pretty proud of the way I finished off the job. |
I was pretty proud of the way I finished today and finished the job off. ... I held it together. Anytime you finish with a birdie like that and a great shot, it means a lot to a golfer. |
I've been at the front a couple of times and won back in 2002, but I haven't been in that position too many times over here in the United States, so we'll see how it goes. |
I've still got to believe that I can (win). If I play really great golf, then I've got a chance to win around here. |
If I want to become the best player in the world, I've got to starting thinking like I am. Then, hopefully, the results will show that and I'll start progressing up the ladder. |
If we're playing into the wind, that's a very small green to be hitting a mid-iron into. In some cases, I can see playing for the front bunker and trying to get up and down (for par) if I have to hit a long iron there. |
If you don't believe you can be the best player in the world, then it's going to be hard to get there. That's why I've tried to up my goals and up the way I've been thinking. |
It got considerably colder and it was just hard to keep your hands warm, hard to keep your rhythm. |
It only took 365 days. I'm glad it was me. |
It was just me trying to set my goals high. I hope some of my comments took nothing away from Tiger. He's a phenomenal player. He's absolutely the No. 1 player in the world right now. That's what I'm striving to be. I think the only way for me to catch him is to start believing I'm as good as him. |
It was just one of those fun days. I hardly had any trouble at all. I've shared the lead after the second round for two straight weeks, so obviously the game is good. |
It was one of those rounds where nothing was happening. |
