Davis III Hard Quotations

It was a difficult day. It was hard to control the ball and then it quit raining, but it got cold. My hands got cold and the ball didn't want to go anywhere.

People just don't understand how we battle and how hard we try to win,

When you've got a day like today when the scoring is good, you have to shoot a good score and not put yourself behind. It's not a good course to catch up on, because it's going to get harder and harder every day. It's nice to get off to a good start.

When I get up there, I say, 'This hole has always been good to me,' rather than going, 'It's hard to hit this green.' I'm thinking positive thoughts. When you have a place where you're comfortable, it makes it easier. I feel good everywhere on this course.

If you put the ball in the fairway, there's a few birdie holes out there. But it's a tournament where you know you're going to play four rounds, and you're going to grind it out. ... It's kind of like a mini-major. It plays very tough, and it gets harder as it goes along, and the scores don't seem to get too much lower unless it's weather related.

It seems like every time he gets close, he has another bad tournament. It's hard for all of us to imagine playing great, and it's also hard to imagine when you're playing great to be playing bad again.

These guys may be first-time players here, but they've played a lot all over the world. They come off the NIKE Tour and the European Tour, and they're tough. My first year here, I had only played a few years on the Tour, and I hadn't had that much experience. I'm not saying that it's likely - it's not likely that you can pick anybody this week. There are some guys playing well coming in, but it's hard to pick.''

All you've got to do is relax and play, and sometimes that's hard to do. You know, we say, well, if you just get out of your own way at the majors, you could win a lot more, and sometimes it's easier said than done. Sometimes it's different pressure with different people.

When the wind is switching back and forth a little bit, it's just hard to hit every fairway. That's the only way to make this course play easy - hit every fairway.

It's hard to keep them interested. You look at NASCAR. I'm a NASCAR fan, so to me (a points system) was a drastic, drastic change. I didn't like it. I didn't want them to change. But sometimes staying the same is not good. I like what they're doing. It's meant to have an exciting conclusion to the season. It's not just going to be one event. It's going to be a series.
