I finished good down the stretch today as I did Thursday. I must say I played well today, I couldn't really get it going at all. I had three three-putts, but it's funny because I feel like I'm putting well.
I came to No. 16 knowing I had three holes, and I had to do something,
I really don't feel a lot of pressure to perform the way I have the last three years. I just feel good about my game. I just want to come out, have a good time and get a little better here and there.
I have three more days. I feel good about my game.
I'm competitive and yeah, I was very disappointed in the way I played on Sunday. I played really good for three days and I made a few mistakes down the stretch. Of course I was disappointed in myself and wished things would have been a little different. This gives me a little bit more fire and maybe that's what I need for the rest of the season.
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 had four weeks off, so I'm happy to be here. I'm ready to come back and play some tournaments. I am excited to get going again. I normally don't have four weeks off in the summer, but it just turned out to be that this year. I played in Europe three weeks and needed a long break.
I've got three to go and I'm tied for the lead,
It was good to recharge the batteries, but three weeks went by very quickly. I think a four-day tournament is really what it's all about. If you think about all the big tournaments that we play, all the majors, it's more of a true test - a four-day tournament.
I think what I've got to do is just take one step at a time, one tournament at a time, trying to prepare as much as I can for the majors. I know how to win them. I've just got to be able to do it in one year. So that's my biggest goal this year.
I think it's very tricky, ... There are so many different bounces you can get on the fairways, on the greens and everywhere, really. It's not playing long, but it's really tricky. The greens are a little roughed up, so I'm looking forward to a morning tee time.
I think we all knew that was going to be the case coming in. That's what makes this so great.
I think the tour has been in a healthy state for quite some time. And now you're starting to see the fruit from all the hard work. The up-and-coming players are definitely a sign of that.
(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.
