Rory Sabbatini Quotes (16 Quotes)


    That was definitely one of the hardest rounds of golf I've played in my life. It seemed like everything was going the wrong way.

    I'm comfortable with the lead. It doesn't change anything for me. I'll go out there (today) and do what I've been doing.

    That is probably one of the toughest days I've ever had on the golf course. It just felt like everything I was doing was backfiring on me. I was hitting good shots, but nothing seemed to go as planned. I hit a lot of good putts out there, but looked like a terrible putter. We were just having trouble reading the greens.

    I got off to a slow start, but I played solidly. I had some opportunities that I did not convert. However, from the seventh hole on, I got things going a little bit. It was just a matter of staying patient out there, knowing the putts would eventually drop.

    I don't think it adds any more pressure on the tournament director or creates any resentment. Hey, I've had tournaments where I've shot 89 in the first rounds, and I was top 80 in the world rankings. That's just part of competitive golf and she'll get over it.

    I've managed to find the energy to maintain my concentration out there and stay focused.

    I couldn't feel my toes or my hands when I played it. I hit a chip clear over the green. I even hit it clean over the back bunker. It was actually funny, walking on the 14th tee today, I looked at Tommy Armour and said, 'Yes, I can actually feel my toes again.' He had the same thought process.

    It's a course that really can give a lot, but it can take it away in a blink. If you do have a birdie putt, really try to make some out there and capitalize on the situations because it kind of alleviates that stress on you.

    I knew if I could take 7-iron, hit my shot, keep it down, control it, then it would be perfect. As soon as I made contract and looked up, I knew it would be good.

    It's definitely crucial on this golf course that if you do get opportunities to have a 15 or 20 footer for birdie that you make some of them, ... If you're not making birdies on this golf course, you're going to shoot a high number. It's just inevitable.

    On this golf course, ... I think that's only one hole.

    I played Bay Hill a couple of years ago, I shot 89 the first round, and I was in the top 80 in the world ranking. Is that embarrassing for the tournament director I don't think so. Things like that happen.

    I don't know if you can call it a chip on my shoulder or a monkey on my back, but I shed it today.

    I thought, 'Oh, man, this is going to be perfect, it's going to get over the crest of the hill, and it's going to trickle over the other side. When I saw it go down, it was a bit of a surprise and a bit of a disappointment.

    I had no intention of being here. It's almost tough. I'm a little sad. I would rather be at home with my little girl.
