I took out a 5-iron and I was trying to draw it into the pin to make a birdie. I drew it too much and it went into the water. In hindsight, it was a pretty dumb thing to do, but I was trying to make a birdie.
I understand he's really slowing down, but at 94, he's still an amazing guy. I'm sorry not to see him this week, but I hope he can make it for his tournament in Dallas next month.

You won't find a better guy. And he's got the game to match his personality.
Sleeping on a lead? I'll let you know tomorrow.
The wind came up after about seven holes and I was lucky to be four or five under at that point,
The wind came up about the seventh hole. Fortunately, I was four-under before that. I had the eighth hole, a long par three, and it was straight downwind. That actually helped on that hole.
Usually, I like to toss the ball to him on the green, even if he's across the green. At the end of last year he never dropped one. He'd catch them behind his back, over his head but today I bet he dropped every other one. We weren't clicking.
It's great to be back competing, but there is a process. It took me a few holes. I had to learn how to open my yardage book again.
Low scores are going to happen with no wind. There's no rough, and the greens are perfect.
