Stuart Appleby Ball Quotations

I was a pretty long hitter when I was younger. I was pretty wild, too. I had to learn to control the ball a bit more. Then last year, I decided to open up a bit more and I gained a good climb in distance. My length has grown due to some confidence in my swing, and some trusting. Once you get that, you can open it up a bit.

I drove the ball well, hit the middle of the club face a lot of times, good club selection generally in tricky conditions, and here we are.

Just good solid golf all day. I drove the ball well, hit the middle of the club face a lot of times...and here we are.

I played pretty well today because it was really hot and the ball seemed to be flying further,

Chad had a lot of breaks and he hit the ball in the right spots at the right time. He did everything right and got the the breaks - not the lucky breaks, but the good breaks.

I'm at a more competitive level than I was a few months ago, driving the ball better, hitting my irons better, hitting more greens and making a couple more putts.

He played really well. The ball stopped and started whenever he wanted.

When the wind blows like it did on the back nine today it can add at least three strokes to your round. There can be a fine line between looking brilliant and looking like an idiot. But Chad put the ball in very good places all day. He looked brilliant.
