Woody Austin Quotations

Should I be better than you if I make a little bit more money? No. Unfortunately, you know, some people out here think just because they are good at it that they are up here and everybody else is down there. It just doesn't make sense.

I can't help but think that I'm still letting him down because I'm not playing worth a darn,

If it's based on wanting the guys on top to play together, it's a bunch of hogwash. There's no problem with our tour as far as what's going on. To me, it sounds like the upper-echelon always wants it to be whatever they want. They seem to think that just because they're the best players that everybody should listen to them and only do what they want.

I got a good bounce it hit the side of a tree and came out to the corner of the fairway. I hit a perfect 6-iron that almost went in. Those are the eagle putts you think you can make.

He got me started in the game and I know he wanted me to play. There's more pressure on me this week than if I was coming and my dad was around. I'm not only trying to compete, but I've also got that little chip on my shoulder. I really want to do it for him and for our families who are going through a tough time.

Like I've always said, I'm no different than any other person,

Finally. I played in one final group. It was this year at Hartford. I haven't made many of those.

I've always said all along: I've got as much talent as anybody. I can hit any shot, but I've got a 2-cent brain. I don't have the mental (side of golf). I just wasn't given the mental ability to play this game as well as my physical part, and that's always held me back. But I'm not afraid to admit it. Some guys are afraid to admit it, but I'm not.

So this has not been a good 2 1/2 weeks for me. It was more of just a shock of losing someone, the one who got me started in the game. The last couple of weeks have been just kind of like a robot going along.

It's kind of a tussle for me. It's like you're not supposed to be upset because you have no expectations because you haven't been able to prepare. But then, on the other hand, it's like you want to do well for the rest of the family, give them something to cheer about instead of worrying about what's been going on.

It's just been a bad year, just haven't played good,

It's all new, but it's all new in a good way, so there's nothing wrong with that. I've played in one final group, and that was just this year at Hartford. I was trying to defend. I haven't had too many of these.

It's nice that it did happen again. Anytime you win is a validation for why you're out here.

I needed it, ... I didn't make anything until a 13-footer at No. 9, then threw that away with a three-putt at the 10th where I missed the hole from 2 feet. Then I birdied 13 and 15 but missed from 8 feet after hitting a great bunker shot at 16. It was disappointing to keep giving shots right back.
