bit wind
I think it's about the wind and breeze. It's a little bit like Australia.
certainly twice win
Certainly to win once is nice, and twice is better.
anyone reasonably texas typical wants winds
Anyone in here wants the story to be about them at the end of the day. We have not really had any typical Texas winds that would keep us away from flags, so you can still be reasonably aggressive.
certainly dose emotional feeling higher needed proves puts shows throughout twice winning
There needed be another dose of that throughout the years and there hadn't been. Winning now, twice, puts that emotional feeling at a higher level. Once is nice, twice certainly shows and proves to you that what you're doing works.
low seen shot strong trying wind
I would like to have shot lower, but it was pretty trying out there. The wind was as strong as I've ever seen it. You just weren't going to see a low score.
match matches situation trying week win
Match play is a situation where you need to win your matches and be aggressive, and I think that's something that I'm trying to use this week as preparation.
hole near roll
Once you get them near the hole you just have to roll them in,
dice extending good roll
It's about extending good play and extending a feeling. You know, roll of the dice a bit. You really can get on a roll.
brain confidence hit hole near normally quite roll
I think the brain didn't quite communicate with the same confidence to where I thought I actually hit it. Normally when I hit a putt, I make it. Once you get them near the hole you just have to roll them in.
defeat happy race
I'm happy to concede defeat. It's a two-horse race now.
feeling game played time
It is a confidant feeling that you like the way your game feels. I find that every time I have played well and won, I have always had it going to the tournament.
clean couple definitely fortunate good hit round score shots
I think that there was definitely a 6-under score had to be had out there by somebody. I was fortunate enough where my round wasn't clean and perfect, but there were enough shots where I hit it good enough to give myself opportunities and I had a couple of good breaks.
fairly finding generous pin players
The fairways are fairly generous here. Enough players are finding enough pin locations.
contention golf quality trying
Absolutely. What I'm trying to do is get better at having a well-rounded game. I know that that quality of golf is going to put me in contention more often, and that's really what it is about -- being in contention.
