bad break came caught difficult exact front good guy hit honestly shot
I honestly hit a good shot there. I caught a bad break on a difficult little hole. The guy in front of me hit the exact same shot and was fine. It's too bad. I really wanted this one. I clawed my way back, but came up just short.
chips fell game golf good great holding round sudden turned until
It was a good round until I got to No. 17 and then it turned into a great round. I was holding on to a good round and then all of a sudden the chips fell in the right spot. That is the game of golf for you.

I couldn't be happier. This is not my lowest round, but I'm awfully proud of this one.
far fast figured good green hopefully line rolling
That green is pretty fast from right to left, so I figured that if I could just get it rolling on the right line, hopefully it wasn't going to go too far by. I had a good line on it and really good speed.

The weather back home was been terrible so I didn't want to lose my competitive edge sitting around the house.
bit club eleven green hit hundred left middle perfect spin tried wind yards
With a hundred and eleven yards to the green I had a sand-wedge, which was the perfect club for me. It was a little bit down wind left to right. I just tried to hit it in the middle of the green and spin it to the hole.

The radio stations, television stations and the newspapers were calling. But I haven't been home. My wife, Jill, has been taking all the heat.
