drive front greens hit putting saw shoot six today
I saw the greens very well today and I read the greens very well, especially on the front nine. That was the key, putting well. I didn't drive too well. I only hit six fairways out of 14, so I did well to shoot 64.
afternoon bit felt good greens missed shot six three tricky
I didn't really play all that well. I missed a lot of greens but I chipped and putted very well and holed a lot of good putts for pars. The greens were a bit more tricky this afternoon with all the traffic. I felt I could have shot a good round. I was three under through six and then nothing happens,
although felt good needed six time weeks
It was unfortunate, but you need to take some time out now and then. It put me back probably six weeks or so. I didn't play golf, but it was a good rest. I felt like I needed it, although it wasn't something I planned.
bed goodness himself hope hours less listen people round six telling tiring travel
People are telling Ernie to travel less because he is tiring himself out. I hope he doesn't listen to that nonsense. I used to travel round the world with six children, no jet, and it was 30 hours from Johannesburg to America. Ernie's got a bed on his plane, for goodness sake. It's all in the mind.

I only hit four fairways today and only six yesterday and 10 out of 28 is not very good,
bit breeze chance course guys hopefully shoot six slightly win
I'm going to need to shoot six under to have a chance to win because there are a lot of guys up there but hopefully there will be a bit more breeze to make the course slightly more difficult.
winning firsts six
I remember winning the first time, you know, suddenly everybody expects, well, okay, now he should win every time he tees it up, win six tournaments.
career golfing mental turned
I think what has turned my golfing career is my mental toughness,
course golf hands heard longer plays
I think any golf course they make longer plays into the hands of Tiger. I think he's just smiling. You haven't heard him complaining about that. The longer they can make it, the better for him.
field great last played week win
Last week wasn't a great field but I played well and it would be great to win again,
ahead crowd double expect heard miss phil saw
I saw him miss the return, and I heard someone in the crowd say, 'You're two ahead now, ... I didn't really expect Phil to make double on 17.
beat great pleasure
You always get more pleasure if you beat great players.
blowing dry greens starts tougher wind
It can only get tougher out there when the wind starts blowing and the greens dry out.
