On this golf course, ... I think that's only one hole.
adds creates director golf pressure shot top tournament
I don't think it adds any more pressure on the tournament director or creates any resentment. Hey, I've had tournaments where I've shot 89 in the first rounds, and I was top 80 in the world rankings. That's just part of competitive golf and she'll get over it.
days felt golf good hit hitting looked reading seemed terrible toughest trouble
That is probably one of the toughest days I've ever had on the golf course. It just felt like everything I was doing was backfiring on me. I was hitting good shots, but nothing seemed to go as planned. I hit a lot of good putts out there, but looked like a terrible putter. We were just having trouble reading the greens.
birdie course crucial definitely golf high shoot
It's definitely crucial on this golf course that if you do get opportunities to have a 15 or 20 footer for birdie that you make some of them, ... If you're not making birdies on this golf course, you're going to shoot a high number. It's just inevitable.
definitely golf hardest played rounds seemed wrong
That was definitely one of the hardest rounds of golf I've played in my life. It seemed like everything was going the wrong way.

I remember when I was a rookie and would just let it go. There's absolutely no possibility I could ever have hit it that far. Just unbelievable.
blew fire hear stories
You always hear the stories ... 'Ah, he blew it.' I didn't want to give them anything more to fire at me. I didn't want to give them any more ammunition.
bit crest saw surprise
I thought, 'Oh, man, this is going to be perfect, it's going to get over the crest of the hill, and it's going to trickle over the other side. When I saw it go down, it was a bit of a surprise and a bit of a disappointment.
eventually hole knowing matter patient played seventh slow staying
I got off to a slow start, but I played solidly. I had some opportunities that I did not convert. However, from the seventh hole on, I got things going a little bit. It was just a matter of staying patient out there, knowing the putts would eventually drop.

When I looked at the scoreboard and he was 2-under through four holes, I knew the only person who had a chance to catch him was Chad, maybe.
game mental nice ready success
It would be nice to get back. I haven't had as much success there as I would like, but I think my mental game is ready for it now. I'm a lot more mature.
concentration energy maintain stay
I've managed to find the energy to maintain my concentration out there and stay focused.
contract control hit knew looked soon
I knew if I could take 7-iron, hit my shot, keep it down, control it, then it would be perfect. As soon as I made contract and looked up, I knew it would be good.
felt left shots
I haven't had too many four-shot leads. I felt like I left a lot of shots out there.
