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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
