cold gave guys talk
Some guys gave me the cold shoulder, ... Some guys wouldn't talk to me at all.
areas good greens nowhere perfect
The areas around the greens are nowhere as good as they were in '99.... It's not as manicured, not as perfect
best
That was probably one of the best -- if not the best -- putts I've ever made.
either height hit needed nice perfect shot
That was a nice little shot because I had to hit it a little easy, a little soft. Actually, it was a perfect 2-iron yardage. But I needed the height there. Either that or it was in the water.
certainly conditions happen holes nine shot soft wish
I wish I was better, certainly wish I was more under par, but that's what it is. I have nine holes to get a score. One shot at a time. It can happen fast. With soft conditions like this you can make some birdies.
added advances average concern golfers guys hit picked
It doesn't concern me. You're going to have advances in technology. Guys are bigger, stronger, faster, with added technology. Hence, you're going to hit it farther. Even average golfers have picked up a lot of distance.
calendar four grand hold majors people
To be able to hold all four majors - the Masters, U.S. Open, British Open, PGA - all concurrently I think is the Grand Slam. But a lot of people have a different opinions on that. People think you have to win it in the same calendar year.
certainly love playing
The PGA, over the years that I've played, has certainly been very fair. They are set up stern, but fair. I think that's why we all love playing that championship because they never go over the edge.
anyone bigger chance compliments events great interest list majors means money player ultimate win year
The Player of the Year means a lot because it's from your peers. That is like the ultimate compliment. The money list doesn't really interest me that much only because if you play more, you have a better chance of making more money and I don't play that many events. I'm concentrating on the bigger events. If I can win more events than anyone in a year and more majors than anyone in a year, it's going to be a great year.
award means player year
The Player of the Year award means a lot because it's from your peers,
angle arms club consistent matches plane swing takes timing
Without getting too technical, what I try to do is swing on the angle of the club shaft at address, ... For me, that's a consistent swing plane that matches my arms and body. It takes timing out of the equation.
contention couple events golf win
Unfortunately I had a couple MCs (missed cuts) this year, which is not normal. To be in contention at all the majors, win two World Golf Championship events and be in contention at other events, that's awfully exciting.
million
Why? I can think of a million reasons.
bit control putt speed welcome wish
Welcome to golf, ... I wish we could say we could putt well every day, but it doesn't happen. The only thing you can do is control your speed every day. This week, my speed has been a little bit erratic.
