letting-go mistake moving
The thing I was most proud of about today's round was that on this course everybody is going to make mistakes, but sometimes it's hard to forget about it and let it go. After I made a double on 1, I was able to be patient and let it go and came back with birdies on 3 and 5. When I bogeyed 6, I was able to let it go and come back with a birdie on 8. I was able to let go of some bad shots and forget about it and move on.
golf games play
My style of play won't ever change, because I enjoy that aggressive style of golf. It allows me to play my best. When I attack pins, I stay more focused. I get more into the shot and, consequently, I get more out of the shot and out of my game by playing aggressive.
fun winning giving
Changing would not give me the best chance to win. I need to have fun. I need to attack.
winning play trying
I would rather try a shot to win than play safe and finish second.
golf winning opportunity
I think it's more than whether or not you win or lose. It's having that opportunity on that final round, final nine, to come down the stretch with a chance to win.
winning giving trying
What I like to do is to try to win as many tournaments and as many majors as I can, and with him [Tiger Woods] in the field, it just gives it more credibility, whatever it is I am able to accomplish.
golf winning games
The winner of this tournament doesn't just win a major. He become a part of the history of the game.
orange firsts fans
I remember when I first came out on tour, it was Greg Norman and Nick Price. We forget how big Norman was, what a presence he was. I remember one of my first tournaments, Greg threw an orange peel down on the ground and some fan ran over and grabbed it. 'This is Greg Norman's orange peel!'
fun hate play
I hate to play a tournament in which I'm not contending. It's just not any fun for me.
appreciate tests study
The more you study the course, the more you appreciate what a great test it is.
fake-people nice use
It'll be nice not to have to use my fake IDs anymore.
golf play design
It should almost be a prerequisite to play Castle Stuart before you're allowed to design golf courses nowadays.
years want next-year
Well, you know, I don't really want to trade next year. I certainly enjoyed having the jacket put on me rather than putting it on.
careers perspective feelings
I have not found my perspective on my career change. What I have found is that my life in general has been more fulfilling. To be able to influence an individual's life and on who they become as a person is a very rewarding feeling.
