feels good matter shoot time
I think any time you can shoot under par, it doesn't matter if it's 71 right now for me. It just feels good to go out there and shoot a good number.
four golf good instead key playing rounds together ways
I'm still a long ways away from playing really good golf. It's coming, but I'd like to put four good rounds together instead of one or two. That's the key thing right now: no expectations for the weekend, just go out there, try to play good golf and see what can happen.
fun good led seems together
Just seems like one good thing's led to another. Everything has kind of come together at the right time. It's just fun to go out and play again.
feels good last low nine shoot
It feels good to go out there and shoot a good number, and it could have been really low today. But I didn't get anything going on the last nine holes.
days few good next ourselves somewhere spend week
Hopefully, we are going to go somewhere next week and that's it. Going to spend a few days by ourselves and have a good time.
felt good start
I got off to a good start and just felt comfortable all day.
golf good worried
Here I'm not worried about the cut, I just want to go out there and play good golf and try and get in contention.
close days good hit swing though took
It was just one of those days where even though the swing didn't feel as good as it could have been, it was good enough to hit some close shots. When I had the wedges in my hand, I took advantage.
either good hard hit hung par shot stay struggled tough tried trying
It was just one of those things, and I just never could get comfortable with the shot I had. I was either trying to hit it too hard or too easy. It's just tough to get it close, but I hung in there and just tried to stay positive. The good thing was I just struggled to make a par or bogey.
win
I'm here to win and that's what I want to do,
appeal energy found hate laugh people
We found an energy that a lot of people can appeal to, and if you don't hate it, you can laugh at it.
added goes golfer last pressure rough stay time tournament win work year
When you win a tournament like that, actually any tournament, it doesn't matter; there's added pressure on you. Every golfer goes through a rough time in their career, and I went through it the last year or so, but I'm going to try to work out of it and try to stay positive.
bad maybe par stay swings
What I have to do is stay patient. You know you?re going to make some bad swings and, hopefully, you get away with par and maybe make a birdie.
huge
If we didn't have a huge multinational corporation on our backs, we'd be golden.
