bunker hit middle next putt saved
The 6-iron I hit out of the bunker was what saved the whole day. To be able to hit that shot, make the putt and go to the next hole, hit it right down the middle and make a birdie, two birdies in a row.
ball control difference drove easier felt hitting pressure spin takes
I felt like I drove the ball well, which takes a lot of pressure off everything. It makes it a lot easier when you're hitting out of the fairway and you can control the spin a lot better on your irons. That made a difference for me today.
hit
Even if you don't hit it a mile, you've got a chance.
course easy hit tough
(Thursday) was about as easy as you're probably going to get it and it wasn't very easy, you know. It's very tough out there, especially this afternoon. It's just a tough course to be able to hit it where you're looking.
compete course hit improved learned maybe
Maybe I feel like my game's improved and I feel like I can play this course and compete on this course. I've learned where to hit it, where not to hit it, to some extent. Just try to keep it out of those spots.
angles drives good hit missing side
There's a lot of good drives I hit that end up in the rough, and that's kind of the way it is. As long as you're missing on the right side and have angles to the pin, you can manage.
bad bunker caught heavy hit hole missed nightmare short shot tee
I hit a bad tee shot in the fairway bunker, then I caught it a little heavy and hit it in the bunker short of the green, then missed about a 20-footer for par. It was just kind of a nightmare hole for me.

anytime bit calm closer david easier fed few follow good great hit nice played shoot today wind
It's just nice to see the wind calm down a little bit so you can make a few birdies out there. It was a little bit easier today to hit the fairways and get it closer to the hole. Obviously, it was a good day. Anytime you shoot a 62 is a great day. It was nice -- me and David just kind of fed off each other all day. He played great and I was able to kind of follow in his footsteps.
everybody fans good great hit hitting knows loud others quiet shots whenever
It was a great group. They hit some good shots and we just had a good time. The fans were great. ... Everybody knows what's going on, so they are quiet whenever I'm hitting and then whenever the others are hitting or entertaining (the fans), it can get loud at times.
figuring hardest hit nine tough wind winds
The hardest part was figuring out that wind on the back nine because it was all over the place. It was tough out there. The winds were swirling a little bit. It's tough to hit where you want with the wind blowing.
bad couple definitely everybody felt golf hitting instead last miss nervous playing relax special time worried worry wrong
It's such a special place. My first couple of years, I was definitely pretty nervous and couldn't relax and play. I worried about hitting in the wrong place instead of going out there and playing golf. I felt like the last couple of years I've been able to play golf and not worry so much about hitting bad shots, because everybody is going to miss it in the wrong place some time or another.
four gone liked
It has been a long day for four holes. I would have liked the day to have gone a little smoother but it didn't cooperate.
experience guys major start
Those guys do have more major championship experience with the winds. I'd like to start somewhere.
