poorest shot water
It was just probably the poorest executed shot of the week. You're going over water one way or another, why not go at the flag?
aggressive familiar played pleased positions second time
It's only the second time I've played it and I'm not real familiar with the positions from which I should play and how aggressive I can be. But I'm very pleased with the start.
gotten
I've gotten away from my conditioning because of my back, but I've got to get back to that this winter.
appreciate year
At the same time, you always take these times and appreciate them more than you did the year before and the year before that.
guys looking
At least I can see the leader. There are a lot of guys right there. If you're looking at one person, you're probably going to be looking at their brake light. You've got to get really aggressive. You'd better not be looking back.
golf great helps problem
I think it's great for golf. I don't see any problem with it, if it helps our sponsor.
challenge compete golf relish younger
I think it's because of my athleticism that I'm able to compete with these younger guys, ... ... I relish the challenge. I challenge myself to go out at 60 and play the same golf I did at 50.
best bring champions encourage great players possibly welcome
I welcome it. I think to bring the best players that we possibly can, to encourage them to play, is great for the Champions Tour.
above ball hit lie needed solid tight
It was a very comfortable distance. The lie was a little tight and the ball was above my feet. I needed to hit it solid and I hit it heavy.
last left nine order putting
I'm not putting as well as I need to in order to overtake that 70 (Friday). I left a lot of putts out there, especially the last nine holes. It kind of tarnished that 66 a bit.
lives playing sort team
It's sort of the U.S. team playing the team that lives in the U.S.
build hit room trying
I didn't hit it like I should have. Trying to play at the hole, yes, but you have to build in a little room for error, and I didn't build in enough.
