Hale Irwin Hit Quotations

(Friday), the putter abandoned me early, and I never got it back. I went to a little different putting style. And I did roll the ball much better. I had more opportunities. I tried to be a little more patient and continue to hit good shots. Eventually, you're going to make a couple even if you don't putt well. That's what I did the last couple of holes.

Every time I won, ... I wasn't sure what I could do. The ultimate shots, the ones you have to hit to win golf tournaments, were never certain with me.

Coming down the back nine, I just putted poorly. I hit a few loose shots on the back nine. It actually came down to just some very poor putting once again. The putting has been the nemesis over the last three or four months. It's getting to be a little frustrating, I suppose.

It was a very comfortable distance. The lie was a little tight and the ball was above my feet. I needed to hit it solid and I hit it heavy.

I knew when I hit it that it wasn't enough. The lie was tight and the ball was above my feet I didn't execute it very well. I needed to hit it solidly but I hit it a little heavy.

I hit a lot of very good golf shots this week. I'm not going to beat up my short game, but I had some putting difficulty. But I'm not complaining.

I hit a lot of very good golf shots this week,

I played well this week. I hit a lot of very, very good golf shots. I relish the challenge of playing and going out at age 60 like I did when I was 50.

I didn't hit it like I should have. Trying to play at the hole, yes, but you have to build in a little room for error, and I didn't build in enough.
