cup few grab guys hit straight
These guys that take a shower, grab a cup of coffee, and go straight to the tee? That's not the way to do it. When you warm up, hit 20 to 25 wedges, a few middle irons, and 10 to 15 3-woods and drivers. If you're going to putt, give yourself 10 minutes.
great guy hard history open rich words
To win at Augusta and to win The Open Championship at St. Andrews, it's hard to put it into words as a golfer, as an athlete, as a guy - I'm not rich in history, I can tell you that. I'm not a great historian.
family great mental starting wife
I've got a great support system, starting with my wife and family, to my agent, my instructor, and my mental coach.
discovered holy honestly meant work
I discovered what it meant to 'live for Christ,' and that it honestly was something I wanted to do. The facts were there, and I could sense the Holy Spirit at work.
contend people
Some people thought I'd be on the PGA Tour, that I'd win tournaments, play in majors, contend in majors, win majors. I thought they were crazy.
deli food manhattan spent stop time trip whenever
Whenever I'm in Des Moines, I always make a trip to Manhattan Deli for a sandwich. I spent a lot of time there when I was going to college at Drake, so it's usually my one 'go-to' food stop when I'm in town.
classic iowa midwest state trip
You need to make a trip to Des Moines in August, because the Iowa State Fair really is a sight to see. The Iowa Fairgrounds are usually packed for those 11 days, and you get a real sense of what a classic Midwest fair is all about.
area bunch finding great offer side suggest urban west
There are a bunch of places to stay in Des Moines, but I'd suggest finding a place on the west side of town. It's a great urban area that has a lot to offer tourists.
hit putting
I don't hit it very far; I don't overpower a golf course, but I think I'm a pretty decent putter. At Augusta National, putting is premium.
gave god realize
I feel like God gave me the ability to play a game. I try to take it very seriously. I realize it's just a game.
good
I like to look good on the golf course.
grab
I like to play what I call a-motional golf. Emotion doesn't grab me that much.
grateful great provides
I play golf for a living. I'm grateful for that. It's a beautiful game, provides a great opportunity.
comfort contrary eat enjoy food soul southern
I'm a foodie. I enjoy it a lot, and contrary to what it looks, I eat a lot. My comfort food, of all things, would be southern soul barbecue.
