Does rough really matter? I don't know. It was still Tiger and John Daly in a playoff at the end. They're two of the longer hitters on tour and two of the worst in driving accuracy.

I'm just got past the point of making a big deal out of this stuff and just going out about my business and just trying to commit to every golf shot, hit it, go find it and hit it again.

I knew I wasn't mentally ready to compete at the highest level when I was in my mid-20s. I'm only 30. The peak of my career is still ahead.

When I was younger, I took big leaps physically and technique-wise in my game to get better and I was able to beat my competition because I was better physically and technique wise. Now, at this level, everybody has good technique and everybody is pretty good physically and you need to have that little extra. I've finally realized at 31 it's the six inches between your ears.

Those days are behind me.

I was a deer in the headlights two years ago. I couldn't find any rhythm at all. I was too busy paying attention to him and not enough to what I was doing. And I wasn't enjoying the day.

That would be pretty cool if I have a chance to play there.

I'm a little wiser, obviously a little older, more experience, and I'm really starting to not sweat the small stuff. I was a completely different person than I am now.

It used to be, just get up there and rip the driver as hard as you could. Now you have to think on that tee. I'm going to hit 3-wood and then 8-iron or 9-iron.
