change hammer saw thinking
I saw what he was doing, but that doesn't change your thinking any. You know you've got to make birdies. You've got to keep the hammer down here.
change great played round saw thinking ways
There's a long ways to go. JJ played a great round and I saw what he was doing out there. You know you've got to make birdies. It really doesn't change your thinking any.
distance golf thinking
When I'm in a zone, I don't think about the shot or the wind or the distance or the gallery or anything; I just pull a club and swing.
later morning root sooner thinking
It's like having a 3 o'clock appointment for a root canal; you're thinking about (17) all morning and you feel (bad) all day. You kind of know sooner or later you've got to get to it.
maybe shoot somebody
I thought somebody would shoot 7- or 8-under for sure, maybe even 9-under.
bit experience extra high kids skill week
Week in and week out, the kids have more game. But on my week, I've still got a high skill level, and that extra bit of experience can make the difference.
putter replaced sometime thrown
My putter may be replaced sometime soon, or thrown away.
cash hawaii tiger
I text-messaged Tiger and said, 'No Hawaii for you, more cash for me'.
awful felt hit iron might minute terrible
I actually ... felt too relaxed. I hit an awful iron into the first hole, then another terrible iron into 2 and I thought for a minute I might be in trouble.
felt
I felt like it was a 36-hole day,
blow harder maybe rain rest slim wind
I'd like to see the wind blow a little harder for the rest of the day. Maybe a little rain will be good, ... slim to none.
course feels fun goes learn level played playing somewhere week
I actually like that, because then it feels like everyone is on a level playing field, ... As the week goes along, you learn the course a little more. It's kind of fun going to play somewhere I've never played before.
birdie course happened history honestly last management playing smart somebody staying time tournament using win won
I can honestly say I never thought I would say that I actually win a tournament using my head. But honestly this weekend, I think I won this tournament playing smart golf, using course management and staying patient. I mean, somebody is going to have to find out when the last time somebody won a tournament making one birdie on the weekend. That may have never happened before in the history of golf, by the way.
driver excited good half happens hit news quite scrape shock speed state
I am excited about tomorrow. I didn't hit my driver quite as well today, but I made no birdies and I'm in half a state of shock about that. That just never happens to me. I can usually scrape one or two in somewhere. The good news is I hit a lot of good putts. I just didn't read them right or my speed wasn't right or a combination of both.
