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.
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.
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.
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.
great
It's a great start, but nothing more than that.
certainly hopefully last worked year
Certainly it worked for me last year - hopefully it does again.
bad bit course hit quite shot
You don't have to hit too bad of a shot to be penalized quite severely. That's what makes the course very difficult. And that, coupled with a bit of wind, makes it tough.
bad played round
I feel I haven't played a bad round here yet.
lose tournament win
I don't think you win or lose this tournament off the tee. I mean, it's all around the greens.
colder hands hard
It got considerably colder and it was just hard to keep your hands warm, hard to keep your rhythm.
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.
colder longest shortest
Not much was going wrong. It's usually colder and wetter, and the longest of the courses. But with the weather, this is the shortest it has played.
glad took
It only took 365 days. I'm glad it was me.
apart couple good missing short
Apart from missing a couple of short putts it was a pretty good round.
