money record
When I had the record and the money title, it's very misleading,
balls greens masters open picking played playing plugging quick soft
It's playing more like a U.S. Open than a Masters. Lately, the Masters has played soft and wet, with balls plugging in the fairways and picking up mud. That wasn't the case. It was quick and dry, and the greens are picking up speed.
backing ball clean difficult fact golf hardest longer picked shots
More than the length, it's the fact that every ball is backing up. Every ball picked up mud. That's the hardest thing in the world. You can have length, and you can have longer shots to the green, but if you don't have a clean ball, it makes for a very difficult golf shot.
areas ball close good hit pins positions pull putt shaped
A lot of the pins are in areas where if you pull up, you can hit the ball close with good shaped shots. Unfortunately I didn't hit the ball very good, so I wasn't in those positions and I didn't putt well, anyway.
anywhere ball birdie chance driver either ended figured good hitting holes last outright tournament win
I figured 19 (under) would either win the tournament outright or be in a playoff. I had to birdie the last two holes somehow. I had to take the chance of hitting driver (on No. 17) and put the ball anywhere up there where I could make birdie. It ended up as good as you could like.

Nick hits the ball very consistently and he's a wonderful putter, whilst his short game is very solid,
absolutely anytime ball course fit good greens guys normally receptive smooth somehow throwing trying
Anytime you have receptive greens and smooth greens and this morning, absolutely no wind, the guys are going to go low. That's not normally how this course plays. Usually you're trying to somehow fit a ball in there to some of these corners. (Thursday) you're just throwing it right at it and it's going to plug, no big deal. You know with these greens being this smooth, good putts go in.
ball easier grabbing shots
Short-game shots are so much easier when the ball is grabbing and holding. Before it was skidding and repelling.
ball close couple feet hit
I didn't hit the ball very close and when I did, I did make a couple of putts, but other than that, I was 30, 40 feet just about every hole.
asked ball bridge flight golf maybe nike problem rick
I've asked Rick Nichols at Nike to see what I can do to bridge the gap, to maybe put a 5-wood or 7-wood in the bag. But I have a problem with having to be able to flight the golf ball with those clubs.
ball hit playing putt shoot solid
It's not like I go out there and I hit the ball just unbelievable and putt unbelievable to shoot these scores, ... I'm just playing solid golf. This is the way I feel I can play every day.
ball best easy golf hit played tough
It's not easy here, it's a tough track. And I haven't always played my best golf at the right time. This track, you got to hit the ball well.
ball hazard line looking walked walking
They were walking on the hazard line looking for the ball. They didn't know if they walked on my ball or not,
ball fault hitting proper
It's my fault for not hitting the ball proper distances.
