attitude feeling patient playing relaxed
It's a relaxed feeling for me. Obviously, I'm playing well so I have an attitude to be patient and let it happen.
I've had more hole-in-ones. You don't see them. Very rare.
champions guys last leg maybe none tour
None of the other guys played. The Champions Tour was off last week, so maybe we had a leg up there, just being in competition.
gets great huge thrill
It was a great day for me. It was a huge thrill for me to be here and winning. It never gets old and it never gets easy.
good round turned
It was a good start, you need to do that in a three-round event. The birdies on 14 and 15 turned a good round into a very good round.
good rounds start three
It was a good start. Obviously, with only three rounds out here, you need to get off to a good start to feel like you're in the tournament.
prove
I wanted to prove how well I was playing.
character course cushion figured hard hope last par played wind year
The course at Savannah is more wide-open, but it has a lot of character to it. Last year it played so hard because of the wind on the weekend. And the 18th hole, I still haven't figured out how to make a par on that hole, so if I'm doing well, I hope I have a little cushion on that last day.
absolutely against champions competing course everybody golfers good last late success tour
The course is absolutely perfect. It's everything everybody said it was. I feel very comfortable out here after having some success on the Champions Tour late last year. It's good to be competing against golfers your own age.
champions few forth jumping played special
(The Champions Tour) is where I belong. I don't see myself jumping back and forth a lot. I'll still play a few special ones that I've played well in the past.
good job rushing slowing week
All week long, I did a good job of slowing myself down. I'd been rushing things a bit.
allowed crazy few guys looked quite run
It looked like one of those guys would go crazy and run away with it. When they didn't, that allowed quite a few of us in. I was just the one that made the birdies at the end.
course forward good heard looking playing seemed son spend three time weeks
It seemed like the right thing to do to play the first three weeks in Hawaii. I got to spend some time with my son and am looking forward to playing the MasterCard. I've heard nothing but good things about the course over there.
call simple
It was a pretty simple putt, if you can call it that from that distance.
