When I come to a tournament I set really high goals and I come here to do the best I can. I don't know if I'm being rude if I win my own tournament, but I'm just a very competitive person and I love to do well. Today was a step in the right direction and one of my better rounds in about a month so I feel really good.
We made a couple of birdies and suddenly the momentum swung in our favour.
It is a great way to start the year. This was my first visit to South Africa, and I have loved every minute.
I don't think you ever get used to it. This is a great week for her and I hope she enjoys it.
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.
This has been another great season and this victory caps it off.
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.
so I can feel the steel and be more in touch with the workout.
The key for her is just to come out, enjoy it, absorb the atmosphere. It's a fantastic place to be. I told her, 'Enjoy this week. This is what this is all about.' It's more about being part of the whole thing and just being able to fulfill a dream. It's pretty cool.
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.
