selfish weak wish
For selfish reasons, I really wish we were having a weak field, so I would have a better chance.
coming compared course flew looked looks playing
We flew over coming in, and you could see just how sparse it looked compared to what it used to look like. But the playing part of the course still looks the same.
team goal captains
That's my No. 1 goal. I want to be part of (captain) Tom Lehman 's team.
distance son pounds
My son's 18, 142 pounds and hits it 40 (yards) by me. Instead of to the pin, he's lasering the distance between me and him.
careers knees company
Stryker was a company that allowed me, when I had my knee replaced and I got the Stryker GetAroundKnee put in, to get my career back and get my life back.
hate golf thinking
People are going to paying attention to him whether they love him or hate him. So I think Tiger is a huge focus point on a stage that is as little as golf.
beat hate reading team
We just hate reading that we're not a team of togetherness, ... just because we get beat at the Ryder Cup.
course extent greater premium putting regular
I would agree to some extent that on the Champions Tour that there is a greater premium on putting than the regular tour because of the course setups.
best career champions irony people slow time
My career progressed slowly. Real slow at a time. The irony of it was I had the best part of my career between when I was 45 and 49 years old. That's when most people are in their twilight, waiting to get to the Champions Tour. And that's when I made most of my hay.
coming grown healed help home horrific incredible integrated respect society tour troops
The PGA Tour has a lot of interaction with our military, and I've grown to have an incredible respect for our troops who are coming home with these horrific injuries, as well as any organization that can not only help them get healed up, but help them get integrated back into society.
therapy
We have two tractor-trailer rigs on the Tour. One is a therapy truck, and one is a workout truck. If everything is going well, you're walking in the workout truck, and when things aren't going well, you're walking in the therapy truck.
areas close greens incredibly main mean pin reason
Augusta is a very unique golf course. It's a long hitters' course; main reason is because the greens are so severe, and the areas where they put the pin is such a small area. The little plateaus and undulations mean it's incredibly important to be close to that pin so you can be aggressive.
couple houston low weeks won
A couple of weeks before the 1992 Houston Open, I was probably as low as I could get confidence-wise. I didn't think I was going to go any further, and then, out of nowhere, I won that week. That kind of got me going.
mirrors path
I would say that my downswing mirrors the path of my backswing pretty closely.
