If this is the first time you saw it, you wouldn’t think much about it. But I think back to when Tiger (Woods) won in ’97, it’s not even the same golf course.

I always think of that bunker shot on the 10th. Sure. It was the tee shot I wanted to forget, and a bunker shot I want to remember. But they were good memories. I had...

We haven’t really experienced the changes in all their glory yet.

That seemed like the year where (the tournament) was just going to be his.

For those two months of off-season in November and December, it’s nice to be able to practice whenever you choose, not when the weather chooses.

It’s the first time I can leave my canoe in the locker.

It’s a different golf course with the wind. They get these pins on the edges, and it’s tough. It’s a great golf course. We all thought it would be. You get some wind like this,...

My God. It’s the first hole of the Masters, which it could be a 100-yard par three and it would be a hard hole because of the nerves.

This golf course is intimidating everywhere.

They have put the teeth back into it.

It was on my mind, absolutely it was. I thought I had to shoot anything under par. I shot par, and that was enough. It’s a whole lot better slipping in than slipping out.

Whatever you need, it’s there. If you can’t find it, you aren’t trying.

That feeling leaving on Wednesday night is not a good one. It feels like you missed the cut.

I’ve worked hard since I first started playing the game at age 7, and that’s always been my goal to be the best player in the world.

They could set this golf course up so hard that it could make you cry.

I don’t think he missed a shot the first 16 holes. I was just trying to hang with him.

I have thrown out everything, including the kitchen sink. It’s kind of fun starting over.

Today was an important day because largely because Sunday is going to be 36 holes. This golf course is tough enough to play when you’ve got 18 in front of you, but 36 is obviously...

If the golf ball and (club) technology had never changed, it all would’ve stayed the same (here). I don’t think any of the golf-course changes would’ve been necessary.

The difference in the courses will be more pronounced this year.

Until you play it, you just can’t appreciate the difficulty.

It’s unbelievable the difference. The big one to me is No. 5, which was a tough par 4 before. I don’t think it needed any length, but it got it.

You’ve got to play good.

In November, I played four times over Thanksgiving. Over Christmas, I played seven or eight more. So, first of all, I may be the reason they changed the rule that once you qualify for the...

I totally understand what they are trying to do. You never want to see the seventh hole become a 3-wood and (a lob) wedge. You don’t ever want to see No. 11 become a driver...

It’s going to take a good week. It doesn’t matter if you’re 25th or 40th.

It was very cold. Fortunately I had that downhill par 5. If there’s a hole you want to tee off on when you’re real cold, it’s that one.

I knew I hit the shot perfect. And then to hit the hole and go into the water, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Obviously, it’s a crazy game.

But if I have 95 yards on Sunday to that front left pin, I will be thinking about it. I promise you that.

It was time for a change. I had been with David a long time. This is another person looking at my golf game. I’m working on the same stuff, but it’s packaged differently.

What a round of golf that is. I saw him at 8 under and thought he was playing a scramble with Ted Purdy.

I feel pretty confident saying the scoring average [on No. 4] is going to play over par. I guess it would probably play 3.5 for the week. It’s a hole where it rewards a par....
