chance gave lucky playoff win
We didn't play great. I had a chance to win there on 18 and didn't get it done, and he gave me one on the first playoff hole. I was lucky to get by with a victory.'.
certainly city event former home hope katrina lots major obviously orleans raise since special spirits state
Obviously this is a special event for me, as it is my home state and I'm a former champion. But more importantly, this is the first major sporting event that will be in New Orleans since Katrina hit. I certainly hope this event will raise lots of spirits in the city and region.
fond golf great playing success
Obviously, I'm fond of it. It's a great golf course, and I've had success playing it.
forward opportunity reason three
Obviously, it would be big for me to be able to do it three times. You don't get that opportunity very often. Certainly, I don't, and this is my one chance. I look forward to the challenge. There's no reason why I can't play well again.

almost goes golf happening knew nobody opposite says side time until watching wears
I was on the opposite side of the golf course, and there's nobody out there watching us play golf. You knew where she was the whole time. It was almost like a Tiger-type following. You know where she was on the golf course. That says a lot. I don't think that wears off until that goes away for some reason. I just don't see that happening any time soon.
across catch felt looking maybe nervous putt trying
I wasn't even nervous all day because I'm trying to catch the guy. All of a sudden, I've got a putt all the way across the green, big break, and I'm nervous because I'm just trying to two-putt. That's my mistake. But if I had been looking at it all day, then maybe I would have felt that way all the way through the back nine.

I'll talk to some of the players along the way. It's something I felt an obligation to do. I think it's important to the future of that event. It's important to showcase it on television, the rebuilding effort. The more quality players in the event, the bigger the television audience will be.
