No one in particular says anything about it, but we all know that it's a week opposite a bigger tournament. I really want to win a regular event.

I was not panicking, but I was definitely worrying about my swing. It's not been good at all. I didn't want to go into Augusta not swinging well. That's the last thing I want to worry about.
I still have people come up to me and tell me 'Good job in Reno last year.' That means a lot. Even though the NEC is going on and it's a bigger tournament, people still follow Reno.
Today was a pretty boring, uneventful round of golf, but I'm thrilled.
That was a clutch putt. I didn't want to make double there.
Last week was very nerve wracking...playing in front of the home crowd. I came in this week and it just feels easy. I was really looking forward to The Masters, but I'm glad it's finally over. This week I feel very relaxed.
You learn what your body is like and you learn how to deal with it. Each time you go through it, you get better at it.
A day like (Thursday), you make nine birdies and it's really tough to go out the next day and do the same. I still rolled it pretty well, still have confidence in my putting. I've just got to give myself some more chances.
It had a different feel. We had a good time, and I think Mike had the time of his life.
Coming in, I lost a little bit of confidence. I wasn't nervous, but I wasn't as relaxed as I wanted to be. I think that is normal.
I'm really proud of myself to let it go. In the past I would have lost my head and ended up shooting 80-something. I made two doubles and a triple today and shot 1-over. I played well, and I'm not going to let a few holes bother me.
The greens are pretty soft. With no wind, if you're hitting it straight you have a lot of short irons and wedges. You can definitely score if you're hitting the ball well.
I tried to stick to my game plan the way I was playing the last three days. I was coming out of my shot a little. I was aiming for the middle of the green.
I'm not going to take a day off. I'm just going to keep a club in my hand every day. That's the key.
It wasn't my best, but it was nothing to be ashamed of. It took me a long time to get comfortable out there. It was pretty nerve-wracking at the start and it took me some time to feel normal.
This is my first time, so it's all new to me.
I had never had a big lead like that in a big tournament, ... I didn't know how to handle it. I was hoping to get off to a good start and never look back and not have to worry about it. Hopefully I learned a lot today and next time, hopefully I will handle it a little better.
It was a great week. Playing in this tournament is a feeling like none other. I hope to get back ... and maybe one day win it.
