hit matter shape shot
Overall, it was just a matter of getting out of my own way. Every shot this week, I was able to see the shape of it and then hit it the way I wanted.
four maybe shots tougher
This is probably three, maybe four shots tougher than Hamilton.
burden difficult focus playing shots trying
It has been a big burden on me trying to play golf, ... It was very difficult for me to focus or even see shots that I wanted to play because there are other things that were playing in my mind.
close hitting matter nobody seeing shot worrying
I think I did that this week, put myself in another gear. It was a matter of seeing the shot and hitting the shot and not worrying about it because... nobody was close to me to worry about it.
british distant focus golf hard last next open playing shot standing
It's hard to focus and play golf. It's next to impossible. When I was playing the British Open last year, I'm standing over every shot going, 'What am I doing with this golf ball?' I was in a distant zone.
ended exactly good hit shot switched wind
It was only a five-iron. It wasn't a three-iron or two-iron. I hit the shot exactly how I pictured it. The wind switched on us. It ended up being a good eagle.

burden golf happy position trying
It's been a big burden trying to play golf. Other things play on your mind. I'm happy to be in this position again. It's been a long battle.
arnold behind course destroying golf jack mystique slowly special
It's always been a special place ... for golf. There's a lot of mystique behind the place. Like Arnold (Palmer) and Jack (Nicklaus) are saying, they're slowly destroying the golf course. It's not the same golf course that it used to be.
scoreboard watching
I think I was watching it with Vijay. I was watching the scoreboard from the first hole, so I knew.
consistent overall package
Overall it's been very consistent ball-striking and the whole package has been very good.
almost bit event feels harder kicked secondary tim wish
It almost feels like we've been kicked back to a secondary event unfortunately. I wish Tim would look at it a little bit harder - and give us a better date.
speak
I just speak my mind, and I always have.
fabulous kids love watch
I love it when my kids can come and watch me play. We had a fabulous weekend.
