conditions difficult golf great memories seeing
That's too bad. I like the golf course. We're seeing it under some difficult conditions because of the greens, (but) I have great memories here.
change course golf help life means mold positive taken
In this case, golf is a means to an end. We can't change the course that someone's life has taken in the past, but through golf we can help mold that life and give it a more positive feeling.
age age-and-aging challenge playing relish
I relish the challenge of playing and going out at the age 60 to play like I did when I was 50.
alone body extremely pleased
In this kind of weather, I'm extremely pleased with the way my body performed. I didn't make a lot of putts, so there was some frustration. But I don't think I was alone out there. Still, I was pleased with the round.
game knew
I knew Loren would be successful. He's just got the right game for it.
above ball execute feet hit knew lie needed tight
I knew when I hit it that it wasn't enough. The lie was tight and the ball was above my feet I didn't execute it very well. I needed to hit it solidly but I hit it a little heavy.
course easy good greens looks tear
I think 66 over here at Del Monte is a good round. It looks like a course you can tear it up, but it's a test. The course is not as easy as it looks. There are some greens that can give you problems.
front frustrated gotten nine par played rounds second shot
I played as well on the front nine as I've played in many, many years. I should have gotten more than 3 under par out of it. Then I got frustrated on the second nine and shot 1 over. This was one of those rounds that could have been really, really low, but I couldn't make any putts.
few holes knew last needed strong today
I had my chances. I didn't have my putts on the last few holes and I am disappointed. I knew I needed to play strong today and didn't play well.

I really didn't know what was going on until I got to 16. Then I saw I had the lead with Bob. I knew something was going to happen in the last two or three holes.
