Tiger Woods Good Quotations

I didn't really put myself in very good shape on 16, so hopefully I can escape with a par there and make something happen the last couple of holes.

I felt if I shot 66, that would be a really good number to post early because I'm two hours ahead of the leaders. I wish I could have shot a couple shots lower and posted that, but you never know.

I feel good at Augusta, too. St. Andrews is not bad, either.

I feel like I'm playing better. The things that I've worked on have really, really started to solidify. I've put together some good events this summer.

He drove it so good it was a joke. He played solid. He should take a lot of positives from it. John should take a lot out of this week. He played well.

He drives it great, hits his irons really well. When he gets that putter rolling, he can really put up some good numbers.

Just one of those weird days where I just didn't have it. I didn't feel very good over the ball, putts, chips, full shots, you name it.

I think it's hit or miss whether you get a good lie, because the rough is a little bit higher and thicker this year.

I thought if I shot 63 today, it would be a pretty good number, ... It's certainly out there. If I play like I did today and make some putts, I can shoot a low one.

I thought if I shot 63 today, it would be a pretty good number.

The areas around the greens are nowhere as good as they were in '99.... It's not as manicured, not as perfect

I would love to win it and hope that this year will be my year. The 36-hole match-play format will be good preparation (for the Ryder Cup, which also is match play), and we will all be looking for some confidence.

Well, I'm in contention, so it is a good spot, I guess.

You know with these greens being this smooth, good putts go in.

Two seconds in two weeks, they are good weeks, ... Second doesn't feel as good as first, that's for sure.

Finally I made three good strokes and it happened to me on the last three holes, 16 and 17 and 18.

To be even associated with (Palmer and Nicklaus) in any breath is always a good thing. It's hard to believe I've won four, just because it's the Masters. I think Jack was just talking (when he made his prediction). To have won four already, it's the thrill of a lifetime. I mean, this is something that every kid dreams of playing in, and hopefully one day even winning, if you're lucky enough.

Vijay is playing beautifully, so he deserves to win. It was a good fight at the end but I just didn't quite get it done.

Better than I was last year, so I'm in good shape.

The South Course, you'd better have the ball-striking up there. It's just that some of these pins now, they are so close to the edges, you have to be pretty precise. If you do miss it, you're going to pay the price, and I think good ball strikers are going to do well here.

Put it this way. If I hit a couple of bad shots, I feel like it's not the end of the world. I can fit it and I can move on and I can still post a really good number. Before, it would be damage control and somehow try and wheel around it and shoot somewhere around par or even under par. But that's not the case.

no matter how good you get you can always get better and that's the exciting part

Zero, absolutely zero. I'm here to try to get ready to win this tournament, and hopefully come out of this week positively so I'll be in good standing going into the U.S. Open.

This is as good as it gets - to win the Open Championship at the Home of Golf is a dream come true.

A lot of the pins are in areas where if you pull up, you can hit the ball close with good shaped shots. Unfortunately I didn't hit the ball very good, so I wasn't in those positions and I didn't putt well, anyway.

Still, I'm in good shape. Better than it was last year.

It's hard for me to compete against Vijay if Vijay just plays well, because obviously he plays nine or 10 more events than I do per year, ... What I can do is have a higher money total per event played, and try to get the number of victories higher than anyone else on tour. If you can do that, then you've had a very good year.

I've had good success there, and I look forward to returning.

It turned out to be a great week. I didn't really have my best stuff this week but I hung in there with my mind and hit some good shots when I needed to,

I turned a really good round into an OK round. Today I thought was my opportunity to do what Monty did yesterday. I made quite a few mistakes.

I turned a really good round into an okay round,

Anytime you have receptive greens and smooth greens and this morning, absolutely no wind, the guys are going to go low. That's not normally how this course plays. Usually you're trying to somehow fit a ball in there to some of these corners. (Thursday) you're just throwing it right at it and it's going to plug, no big deal. You know with these greens being this smooth, good putts go in.

That's better than where I was a year ago. So I'm in good shape.

I'm in good shape. A good shot can end up in a bad spot and you just have to accept the consequences and move on. It was very difficult.

I'm in contention, so it's a good spot, I guess. I'm only five back. And with the forecast, it's unpredictable. Who knows? We may not play if there's thunderstorms.

I?m in contention, so it?s a good spot.

I had 116 yards and it was slightly downwind. I hit a good shot, maybe just a touch too flat. I thought it would have landed shorter than it did, but it landed pin-high.

I just haven't played my best golf at the right time. I've played some good golf, but not my best stuff. And this track, you've got to hit the ball well. You just can't get away with hitting it poorly around here and expect to win.

I just could not make a putt. Either I hit good putts that didn't go in, or I hit atrocious putts that weren't even close. It was frustrating.

I didn't shoot myself out of the tournament by making double, and that's a good thing. We've got a long way to go and I'm playing well, so I just need to keep doing what I'm doing.

I figured 19 (under) would either win the tournament outright or be in a playoff. I had to birdie the last two holes somehow. I had to take the chance of hitting driver (on No. 17) and put the ball anywhere up there where I could make birdie. It ended up as good as you could like.
