ball drives game hit
You see some of his drives ... if I could hit it that far, this game would be easy. But you still have to get the ball in the hole.
building great huge looking moment people playing saw walking window
You're walking up the 18th, every window of every building there were people watching. I saw Ernie Els looking out on the 17th of the (Old Course) hotel. I mean, everyone was watching. This was a huge moment in golf, and to be playing with him was pretty special. It was a great treat.
absolutely great hard paul start
Paul got off to a great start and putted absolutely beautifully. It was always going to be hard to get back in the match.
anytime birdie finished great held job means proud today
I was pretty proud of the way I finished today and finished the job off. ... I held it together. Anytime you finish with a birdie like that and a great shot, it means a lot to a golfer.
donald finish golf good great knew luke nice played shot
I knew if I just played Luke Donald golf, it'd be good enough. It's nice to finish with a great shot like that.
good hole kept telling
I kept patient, kept telling myself you need one good hole to get it started. Obviously, that was the ninth.
apart couple easy good hope missing short six start stick
I made six pretty easy birdies in the pro-am so I had to stick in there after the start and hope there were some more birdies around the corner. Apart from missing a couple of short putts, it was a pretty good round.
bad played round
I feel I haven't played a bad round here yet.
changed course gotten last since though
I feel like even though the course has changed, I've changed as a player, too. I've gotten better since last year, so it shouldn't make too much of a difference.
close definitely felt game good judgment nicely played quite shot week yesterday
I definitely feel better about my game having shot 66 yesterday than if I shot 75 or 76. I felt like I played quite nicely during the whole week. It was very close to very good golf. That's why I like to play the week before a major, just to get judgment on how I'm playing.
best game great main next player playing reason step strive win
The next step is to win majors. Do I think I can win majors? Absolutely. I think I have a great game for the majors. I'm very steady, and that's the main reason why I think if I keep playing the way I've been playing, there's no reason why I can't strive to be the best player in the world.
great
It's a great start, but nothing more than that.
glad took
It only took 365 days. I'm glad it was me.
air ball bit fly hoping looked mud
The ball had a bit of mud on it and I was just hoping it would fly straight. In the air it looked pretty good.
