Last week I started hitting some good shots. My scores didn't always show it, but I felt like I played well. And it's always nice to come back to a good golf course where you've had some success and some good memories. |
Never have a club in your bag that you're afraid to hit. |
No matter how you putt, these are tough greens. You almost have to say, 'I'm going to miss some putts. |
Nothing has changed just because I'm getting older. I'm a golfer who has wanted to play in the Open since I was a teenager. Just because I'm on the Champions Tour does not mean that I shouldn't want to play in our national championship. |
On top of all that, I'm a blessed man. I truly am. |
or run like hell back to the Champions Tour. |
There's going to come a time when one of the top players says 'I can't do that. I need a break,' |
They looked as if they had trees growing out of them. |
This has been way too long a drought. I played terrible last year. I've worked hard on my game and felt very much in control of my swing this week. |
This is definitely the best golf I've played in a long time. My golf swing is great, my putting stroke is great. It's fun to play well and I'm hoping to build on it. ... There is no question about it. To come out and win with this field on this golf course was pretty good. |
This is not as intense as the regular tour was, |
This is why I came back. This is the only reason that I took this little challenge to come back and play the Tour ... to see if I had what it takes to contend, to see if I have what it takes to possibly win a golf tournament. |
This was way to long of a drought. These last two wins, it's been kind of sparse. When I first came out here and won five or six events, I was thinking this Champions Tour thing was pretty easy. |
To go around the course without a bogey today is really, really good. |
When I woke up Sunday morning at the Open and stepped outside and felt the wind and rain in my face, I knew I had an excellent chance to win if I just took my time and trusted myself. |
