awkward friend holes losing worth
It's not worth losing a friend over, but we had 15 very awkward holes after that,
blow damage easy holes keeping question shout within
On a windy day it is easy to blow yourself out. I'll take my round. No damage done. There are another 54 holes to play. It's just a question of keeping yourself within a shout on Sunday.
birdie chances couple few good holes last missed
I missed a couple of birdie chances on the last few holes which would have made it a good round. But it's not the end of the world.
bit couple holes hopefully last morning post tomorrow wind
The wind made the last couple of holes pretty tough. If there is no wind when I play tomorrow morning hopefully I can post a bit of a score.
four happy holes last nice swing
I didn't swing it very well for the first 14 holes, but over the last four holes I got back into it and made some really nice swings, so I am happy about that.
davis expecting hole last maybe mine prepared tough
It's actually not a tough way to lose. I was expecting Davis to get up-and-down on the last and I'd have to hole mine out to go to 19. I was prepared for that, but maybe not prepared for him holing out.
easiest event playing win
There's a lot of expectations with defending. Definitely, the easiest way to win an event is, without a doubt, to be playing well and to be under the radar.
golf performed quite stay strengths
It can be quite a frustrating golf course. One of my strengths is to stay patient, and that's probably why I have performed well here in the past.
nice totally
It's a totally different scenario. We do our own thing. It's nice being your own boss.
badly contention easier finish fun game gets jump life seven sudden tougher win
Life is a lot easier when you play badly and then all of a sudden you get in contention and win one. No one gets on your back. When you finish runner-up seven times, everyone is asking, 'Why aren't you winning?' It's much more fun when you jump into a win out of the blue. It's a much tougher game when you play consistently well.
courses europe europeans event golf maybe open opens regular suit tour
It's going to happen. The golf courses in Europe are being set up more like U.S. Open courses -- they're tighter than a regular PGA Tour event so maybe the U.S. Opens should suit Europeans now.
