dog fall finally learned sit talk
I would talk to my dog and he would sit there and listen, and he'd fall asleep. I finally learned how to do that, without stuttering all over myself.
atmosphere bit british factor guess major masters media near novelty nowhere open shots talked won year
I think the atmosphere is nowhere near what it was in 2000 because I had won the U.S. Open by 15 and the British Open by eight, so 23 shots in two tournaments is pretty good. This year I've won two major championships. The Masters was a little bit closer, but I won the British by five. The atmosphere is also a little different because I've done this before. I guess from some of the media I talked to the novelty factor is not there anymore; I've already done it.
cold gave guys talk
Some guys gave me the cold shoulder, ... Some guys wouldn't talk to me at all.
associated believe breath dreams four good hard hopefully jack kid lucky playing talking thrill won
To be even associated with (Palmer and Nicklaus) in any breath is always a good thing. It's hard to believe I've won four, just because it's the Masters. I think Jack was just talking (when he made his prediction). To have won four already, it's the thrill of a lifetime. I mean, this is something that every kid dreams of playing in, and hopefully one day even winning, if you're lucky enough.
factor guess guys majors media novelty talked three won
I've done this before. I have won three majors in one year, ... And I guess from some of the guys I have talked to in the media this week, the novelty factor is not there any more. You have already done it.
jack might talked team
I haven't talked to (U.S. team captain) Jack Nicklaus about who I might be paired with,
days full good name weird
Just one of those weird days where I just didn't have it. I didn't feel very good over the ball, putts, chips, full shots, you name it.
played though three
I think I played really well - even though I had three bogeys, I think 10 birdies usually offsets that.
chance given honor influence life maybe model positive role
I think it's an honor to be a role model to one person or maybe more than that. If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a person's life in a positive light, and that's what I want to do. That's what it's all about.
bit good higher hit miss rough whether
I think it's hit or miss whether you get a good lie, because the rough is a little bit higher and thicker this year.
earn simple
We've got to go earn a point, simple as that,
hats worked
Hats off to him. He was in the doldrums and worked his way back. Now he's one of the best.
bowing great hard understand
He's a competitor, and being such a great competitor, it must be hard for him not to be prepared. I can understand why he's bowing out now.
character future game top
He's a character on top of that. That is the future of the game of golf.
