A lot of mixed emotions. A lot of it is relief. |
I could only do my best, but the chances were I wasn't going to catch him. |
I couldn't feel my toes or my hands when I played it. I hit a chip clear over the green. I even hit it clean over the back bunker. It was actually funny, walking on the 14th tee today, I looked at Tommy Armour and said, 'Yes, I can actually feel my toes again.' He had the same thought process. |
I don't know if you can call it a chip on my shoulder or a monkey on my back, but I shed it today. |
I don't think it adds any more pressure on the tournament director or creates any resentment. Hey, I've had tournaments where I've shot 89 in the first rounds, and I was top 80 in the world rankings. That's just part of competitive golf and she'll get over it. |
I got off to a slow start, but I played solidly. I had some opportunities that I did not convert. However, from the seventh hole on, I got things going a little bit. It was just a matter of staying patient out there, knowing the putts would eventually drop. |
I had a lot of fun out there. I hit the ball nicely and putted great. I kind of had everything working today, just not enough quite to catch David. |
I had no intention of being here. It's almost tough. I'm a little sad. I would rather be at home with my little girl. |
I haven't had too many four-shot leads. I felt like I left a lot of shots out there. |
I knew if I could take 7-iron, hit my shot, keep it down, control it, then it would be perfect. As soon as I made contract and looked up, I knew it would be good. |
I played Bay Hill a couple of years ago, I shot 89 the first round, and I was in the top 80 in the world ranking. Is that embarrassing for the tournament director? I don't think so. Things like that happen. |

I remember when I was a rookie and would just let it go. There's absolutely no possibility I could ever have hit it that far. Just unbelievable. |
I think I might switch my irons out and go back to my old set. I don't feel like I'm hitting the ball well. |
I thought, 'Oh, man, this is going to be perfect, it's going to get over the crest of the hill, and it's going to trickle over the other side. When I saw it go down, it was a bit of a surprise and a bit of a disappointment. |
