Quotes from the news wire:
The RA contacted me a couple weeks before and said, look, we don't think it's a great idea you go, but if you want to, you can, i just didn't want to make a big deal about it, so I said fine. We both kind of agreed that it would be best if I didn't.

Not like I care, it happened 20-something years ago, it’s just the lack of appreciation, yeah, I don’t see that happening. I don’t see me coming back. Not that I don’t love the people here, they have been great, but not with that type of thing happening.

It’s a unique opportunity because I’ve never won a U.S. Open. It’s in my backyard. I have a chance to prepare properly, and I wanted to put in the right work, so I’ve kind of shut off all the noise. I’ve shut off my phone. I’ve shut off a lot of the other stuff to where I can kind of focus in on this week.

My desire to play is the same, i’ve never been driven by exterior things. I’ve always been intrinsically motivated because I love to compete, I love playing the game. I love having opportunities to play against the best at the highest level. That’s what drives me, and the belief that I could still do it inspired me to work harder.

I'm not happy. I don't know if there's a right word I can say on here without getting fined, but it hurts a little bit, it's one of those things where I just never felt comfortable over the putts. I don't know why, what happened.

I'm just making more and more progress just by trying to elongate my focus, i might try to play 36, 45 holes in a day and try to focus on each shot so that when I go out and play 18, it doesn't feel like it's that much.

So, if you were to tell me that like Sunday night, I'd really enjoy that, but right now there's a lot of work to do, i'm not sure it's going to stand today. We'll see. But the fact is I'm heading into the weekend with an opportunity and I'm playing really well and I'm having a lot of fun doing it.

Having a partner provided for more interaction and I thought the intimacy of the cameras in the golf cart added a ton.

I think there's a market for that... You could showcase guys like Curry and Michael Jordan or Tony Romo and Patrick Mahomes, who are all good golfers, elite talents and have great personalities.

I would be open to the idea because of how it's being received, in a real competition on the PGA Tour, where you're competing for a title, you won't have that type of interaction.

Dealing with losing in this game is a huge thing because even the best, the greatest winners, win such a small percentage of the time, but I have had so many special moments here at Pebble Beach. This was my first event as a pro, 1992, here.

I thought this was a really good chance for me, i just didn't putt my best, didn't chip my best. I actually played okay tee to green.

It's certainly challenging but there's nothing over the top because the greens are somewhat receptive, i thought it was a great set-up to identify who's playing the best.

I know it is a fine line between testing the best players to the greatest degree and then making it carnival golf, the USGA (U.S. Golf Association) are doing the best they can to find that line, and a lot of times they do, and sometimes they cross over it.

I didn't really have it today but I was able to close out the round with a couple of birdies and get it back to even, my iron play needs to be a little bit better. And when I miss a green I've got to be sharper around the greens.

It really does feel good to finally get the scores out of it, to know that I am playing well, i know that, as I look back on those other victories here, how special they were... I've got a little bit of work to get my ball striking back to that level that I need it to be for tomorrow's round. But it's fun to be back in the thick of it.
Found on Reuters 8 years ago
I am very pleased with the way I am striking the ball, the way I am chipping, putting, i thought I was going to shoot a lot lower than I did... I didn't expect to play one over( par) coming in. But I'm not going to complain because I made a lot of good putts on the front( nine).

I came out of my 3-wood a little bit so it was very short, and I didn't catch my next 3-wood that great, so I was left with 60 yards back into the wind. It was a perfect shot I could spin. It might not be a bad way to play the hole given those wind conditions. But I was disappointed I missed that putt. I had about a 6-footer. That would have been a heck of a par on that hole.

Chambers Bay’s a special course in that there are a lot of different shots to play to a lot of different pins, if you play the highest percentage shot Chambers Bay’s not Chambers Bay. But if you don’t know what [ the right ] shot is, there is a lot of penalty there.

I think that Tiger's going to have the last laugh, i think that his short game, historically, is one of the best of all time. I think his golf game is probably the best of all time.
Found on FOX News 9 years ago
I think the short game, when you haven't played, it's the first thing to feel uncomfortable and the quickest thing to get back, i don't think he's going to have any problems, I really don't. I think we all Phil Mickelson included have had stretches where we feel a little uncomfortable. We don't hit it solid, and usually it's just a small tweak, because it's such a short swing that it's not a hard thing to fix.

I feel like my game is where I want it to be, i just have to now shoot the scores. Last week was pretty encouraging. I didn't do all the things I want as well as I believe I can, and yet it was pretty close.

I flew it by him 25 yards, i have gotten a lot more speed in the offseason. That really bothered him. So the 14th hole is a dogleg right to left. I guess he really hammered one. I had not played the hole before. I just hit a little stock cut. ... He was 11 yards by me. If that's what it takes to stroke his ego, then that's what it takes. Had I known that he was going to make a big deal about it, I would have swung a fraction harder and put it past him.

Phoenix is going to be a lot of fun and San Diego, being my home town, will be a good week as well, i'm excited about where my game is at. I just need to be patient during each round and during each week.

The little nuances of getting the ball in the hole have been slightly off but it was a day today that could have been really low, it had a lot of potential and I ended up making too many bogeys and letting some birdie opportunities slide.

It was the first round in four months and I'll loosen up, hopefully, the way I'm playing will show in the score. But today, it just didn't.
