remembered skins skirt winning
Sometimes I think I'm better remembered for the Skins skirt than for winning the Players.
obtain obtained pinch realize
This is cool. I really do pinch myself to realize where I've come from. To obtain some of the things I have obtained out here is pretty cool.
bothering might
It has been bothering me. If it doesn't get better, I might even have to withdraw.
champions hard help
I really feel like I can help the Champions Tour. But at the same time, I'm competitive out here. It's kind of hard to say, okay, that's over and let's go to a new chapter. But I'm not sure. I'm going to have to re-evaluate.
british cup experience goal last playing presidents team year
After the experience of playing on the Presidents Cup team last year, my only goal this year was to make the Ryder Cup team. For me, it was more important to play in the Ryder Cup than the British Open.
birdie coming last late lost paid shots sudden thinking tried
It was one of those things where you are thinking you have to do more than you have to coming down the back nine. I tried some shots a little too aggressively and paid the price, made some bogeys. All of a sudden I lost the lead. I did birdie the last two holes, but it was too late at that point.
fun
It is so much fun being part of those teams.
birdie came conditions drive good hit skins wind
It came down to 18 and I didn't think with the wind and those conditions that I could get home, but I hit a really good drive and a really good three-wood to get it up there. I didn't think birdie would win it, but you just never know in the Skins Game.
atmosphere caught cylinders goes guy help hitting jim mentally motivated playing pressure tiger
He really wanted to be Tiger's partner, and Tiger can't help but get motivated by that. Jim won't get caught up in the atmosphere or the pressure that goes with playing with him. You get Tiger a guy who is hitting on all cylinders mentally and won't get intimidated by that atmosphere, and that's a big plus.
advantage couple good missed took
I had some opportunities that I took advantage of, but missed a couple and made a couple of really good saves.
paid shots thinking tried
It was one of those things where you're thinking you've got to do more than you had to do. I tried some shots a little too aggressively and paid the price.
pink skirt
I've got a pretty pink skirt for you,
course expect golf playing pride
There's a lot of pride out here. You don't expect this golf course to play that hard. It used to be that if you weren't playing well, you could always make some birdies. I've made two birdies all week.
event few field gets guys himself normally point putter rare roll seldom separate tiger tour
I'd say normally any TOUR event is close. It's very rare that any of them are runaways. The guys are pretty evenly locked. It's very seldom a guy gets on a roll with his putter to the point where he can really separate himself from the field like Tiger (Woods) has done a few times and Ernie did here, and Duval.
