happy kept quite triple
I'm still quite happy with the way I kept going after the triple bogey.
birdie chris close finished flying greens kept together tricky trying
I kept on trying all the way and couldn't get close enough. And the greens are very tricky to read. ... Chris got off to a flying start, just kept it together and pretty much finished it off with a birdie on 16.
bothered focus good keeps mobile moving people phones test tiger
I know when I play with Tiger I have to be very concentrated and try not to be bothered by people moving around and mobile phones and stuff. It's a good test and keeps my focus up.
catching chance change conditions early fair felt few hopefully lead places plenty relaxed round second tournament year
I felt relaxed as it was early in the round and I thought in the conditions that if I could get it going, I would have a fair chance of catching up. I just didn't play well enough. Second is not that bad, but going out with a one-shot lead you always want to win. I've had a few second places now and I'd like to change it for a win, but it's only the first tournament of the year so I'll hopefully get plenty of chances.
