I'm playing the way I normally play here. Just nothing is happening.
I'm just glad it's 2005, that's all I can say.
I wanted to get close to the pin without putting the bunker in play. All of a sudden he just kept talking about a straight shot. I don't know how many times you hit a straight shot in golf. It's very seldom. You either work it right to left or left to right, depending on the pin.
I told my caddie, ?A few more rolls and it would have been a 2. I have never had a double eagle. That would have made my day for sure.
It seems like I get my second wind by the end of the year. I've had a nice little break after my trip to Europe. I played one event and I saw my coach the next week, so I feel like I'm ready to finish strong. I really do.
I think I played really well this week, ... This is an elite field and I am competitive. I stepped up this week.
I think the key is patience, ... You have to place it in the right spots here.
I am flattered and honored to be chosen by so many different editors.
I don't think you ever get used to it. This is a great week for her and I hope she enjoys it.
I think it puts a little variety into the hole. It's a good hole either way. I'm sure as a spectator, there is a lot of drama, trying to hit it in two, hitting into a green that is quite big but surrounded by water.
You can play 'steady Eddie', which is normally my game, but I've got to make some birdies this week.
I was lucky. I was able to take a full back swing. I had an 8-iron, a perfect club, the ball went through the trees and on to the green. It was one of those shots that I probably will never forget.
It's great to be back in Orlando. I'm glad it's here and I'm glad we're back and hopefully it will stay here for some time.
That eagle putt got me going on the front, and I think my solid back nine was the key,
