It was just one of those days. I am happy with the way I am playing, I just couldn't get it together today. I'm just glad I made birdie on the last hole. Hopefully I can turn it around.
I finished good down the stretch today, as I did yesterday. (On No. 18), I had to get it up and hope it landed softly. I've been working a lot on my bunker shots this winter, so I feel good about it. ... It would have been really hard if I were in the rough. I was glad I was in the bunker.
It doesn't bother me. I think it's great we're getting more attention. If I couldn't get the attention, I'm glad Michelle can get it. I'm just happy to be a part of it. I know what I've achieved. I know the records that I have set, and nobody can take those away.
Obviously, endurance is going to play a role, there's no doubt about it. It's a hilly course and you've got to be in good shape, especially if the temperatures are up there. If we get the humidity, it could be quite tough. Having said that, I'm glad that I've been working out the last few years.
I'm just glad it's 2005, that's all I can say.
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.
(Koda) has such a strong mind. This young lady is just not talented, she has such a good head on her shoulders. There are a lot of thoughts she'll be thinking about. I'm just glad we can make something great out of this. This is her dream. Hopefully she can show off to her mom.
It's only Thursday; I have three more days. I'm looking forward to it. I still feel good about my game. Today it was almost. It was very, very close, but not really it. And right now, I don't really know what I've got to do to make it a great one, maybe make a few putts, maybe hit a few drives.
I've never seen anything like it. The last time I saw crowds like this was the U.S. Open on a Sunday,
It makes you hit every shot in the bag. For me, I come in with the mindset that I have to play well.
Sometimes you can't do a thing about it. You just have to try and keep on grinding and hope that things will turn around eventually.
Last year was a blur with all I was going through (off the course) and sometimes I don't know how I managed to stay focused when I was inside the ropes,
Golf has been my savior, there's no doubt about that.
I actually had to look twice. I was wondering what course she was playing. That's an incredible score.
