It's hard to describe the feeling. I feel like it's kind of a wedding.
Then a couple years later, I was in a tournament and a bee comes over on my hand and stings me out of nowhere,
I'll be sure not to wear white tomorrow.
I just don't have a week to spare just to try to get into the 36-hole qualifying.
I didn't want to write anything on my scorecard until I made a birdie.
I feel really stupid saying this, ... I ate too much. It caused a little indigestion. Every time I breathed, it felt like barf was coming out.
My goal was to finish in the top five of that tournament (Nabisco) so I was happy with that.
If someone wants to give you, like, $100 million, it's hard to say no. But I don't want to accept that kind of money right now. I'd feel burdened by it.
I've just been so close all year long. So close to it. I just have to get over that last big step to win. It's hard.
I was really sad to lose in the quarters. But it wasn't like I played horrible the last day. I learn so much playing with men. I just pick small things up subconsciously.
I felt really good on the front nine, but just couldn't get anything going on the back nine, ... I still finished under par, so I guess that counts for something.
It's just that I've been so close all year long, ... I'm so close to being a success. I'm content in some ways and not content in some ways. (I'd feel) very happy if I won this tournament, very happy. It's a hard four days ahead and it's going to be tough.
You never know what's going to happen, ... I could play badly - but hopefully I can be consistent and play well.
Compared to all the disaster, it's such a little amount of money.
