coach defense fire good hard hitting next owned prevent shooting strange team total
I have always said if I owned a (football) team and my coach went into a prevent defense, I would fire him the next day. But when you have a seven-stroke lead, it's hard not to. I would not say I went into a total prevent defense because I was hitting some good shots, but I wasn't shooting at pins. It really is a strange mindset.
fun played tough week
I played really well. It's a fun week being home, but it's a tough week too.

I think Tiger would be more enthusiastic about the Ryder Cup (if he skipped the Presidents Cup), and not just Tiger, but all the top players. Biennially, it's fairly easy to get excited about playing.

I'm expecting to do reasonably well. I don't know what that is yet. I'm just kind of feeling my way.

It's just nice to play well again. Once I get going, I feel like I can sustain it. I think I'm really starting to feel like I've done all the work.

golf charity foundation
We went around and looked and talked to a lot of foundations with those charities and decided upon the Childrens Hospital. They had a golf tournament at the time, but it was a small event that didnt raise a significant amount of money.
cups spirit individual
Youre always going to have some individual incidents that arent going to show off the Ryder Cup in the true form and spirit that it was made.
bogey course today
To go around the course without a bogey today is really, really good.
