Jesper Parnevik Quotations

There were a lot of frowns when I stepped onto the range. Johan went overboard in the beginning with very tight stuff. He wanted to make a statement. At the time, guys really wanted to know what was going on.

You know you've been playing badly when you forget where the media areas are at all these tournaments,

If he keeps playing like he is playing there is not much we can do about it. He is playing great and he seems to love this golf course,

Then I started swinging around the hip injury and started hooking the ball 30, 40, 50 yards. I remember playing in Vancouver. I almost won the tournament playing a 50-yard hook. I knew that was it, that I had to have surgery.

Then, when you notice you can actually play pretty bad golf, then it's tougher to come back to that level where you feel confident over every shot, every week.

I said the heck with it, I'm going to surrender. And I gave in. The game got me. I was trying so hard, but didn't win. I gave up pretty much -- not gave up, but I decided I was going to take a break and see what happens.

One swing, and everything clicked, I'll be very disappointed if I don't win on the West Coast.

I spent seven or eight hours on the range (Wednesday) and at the end, I found something that worked for me. You have to be able to hit the driver straight or forget about it. Today I felt great with the driver.

I shot 65 in the first round. When you're not playing well, you're almost afraid of going to the first tee. Even if you shoot 65, you know tomorrow it could be any score. Now I have the confidence back that I'm going to play well every day.

Some guys hate it, some guys like it.
