I guess he's still called a Canadian, so it's no different than Mike Weir last year, anyway.
Chad is a very good front-runner. He?s not scared.
I told the guys, 'Good, good, good. Let's go to the next tee box.
It's just tough out there. The winds were swirling around, and it was difficult to pick clubs.
I've got good feelings over here. I've had great success in Houston.
The key was hitting more fairways, and when you hit more fairways you get chances for birdies. You can't make birdies from the rough here.
The long putts are difficult for me on the green, especially when the wind is blowing. I played decent. I didn't play great.
I can honestly say that in my time in America, I have not encountered any racism. When Jim Thorpe and I make fun of each other on the range, or even when a white player makes a joke about my color, I take it as what it is-a joke-and give it back accordingly.
Sometimes, we should maybe sit back and look at all we have. It's because of golf and the tour. I mean, this life we lead is unbelievable.
I want to play golf, practice and not do much else. I don't drink, I don't smoke and I hate going places where you have to yell at someone who is about a foot away from you.
I'm not going to beg, ... I'm not the guy to ... get on my knees and say, 'Hey, write good things about me.' ... I have to worry about what I feel and not about what other people feel.
It doesn't much concern me if Tiger plays in the tournament or no.
I just play the game. I hit a shot and wait for the next guy to hit his. I don't think between shots-that's my nature.
I'd like to have a little better relationship with the media. It's just that I don't think the media is comfortable with me.
