blow course definitely might moaning perfect today
I think the course is definitely a better course. The course today was a perfect setup. Tomorrow, it might blow a gale, and we'll all be moaning at things.
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.
course golf putt save today tough
I just couldn't make a putt today to save my life. On a golf course like this, its so tough that anything can happen.
four hit six today yesterday
I only hit four fairways today and only six yesterday and 10 out of 28 is not very good,
front michael nine obviously today tournament won
Michael obviously today didn't play all that well on the front nine and that won the tournament for me,
birdie far front nine
On the front nine I never really did anything. All of my birdie putts were really too far away to make anything,
birdie difficult driving good solid
It was a good solid round. My driving (was the only frustration). By not having good drives, it's difficult to have birdie chances.
champion good open win
I'm the US Open champion and I'm good enough to win this match.
birds hear nobody singing
You could hear the birds singing away, like there's nobody on the course.
catch guys maybe tough win
If you can do well in them, and maybe win one, then it is going to be very tough for the other guys to catch up,
body feed frame gave language mind
I could tell by his body language that he wasn't in the right frame of mind and that gave me encouragement. When you see him slouching down the fairway you can feed off that energy.
last putting saving trying
I think my putting has been saving me all week, last week, too. But I'm trying to get comfortable on my driving.
besides birds cheer definitely hear knew nobody normally obviously quieter singing
One hole, you could hear the birds singing away, like there's nobody on the course. It's definitely a lot quieter out there than you normally hear around Augusta, besides the one big cheer we heard. And we obviously all knew that was Tiger.
