There is no way to re-create that until you are out there. Now I know what to work on in my swing.

I thought it was going to take, 11, 12, 13 [under] to win. Those guys are great players, so you have to keep making birdies.

I'm having a blast. My first trip in 2000, I didn't let myself enjoy it. I tried too hard. I know what's going on now, and I know I'm going to play well. It may not be [today], but I'm going to have a good year.

I've been working hard all winter, preparing myself mentally and physically for this spot. It's my third time [on the PGA Tour], and I know I can play at this level. I've done it enough on the Nationwide Tour and I know there's not a lot of difference in the golf.

There's no way you can re-create that pressure. You can't do it on the range and can't do it on the putting green until you're out there. I absolutely had a ball. It's good to put yourself under pressure. Now I know what I need to work on.

I think it's pretty good. You know, I was trying to get to No. 1 last year. I just didn't play well at The Tour Championship.

Mentally, I've been getting ready for this. So I'm not surprised I'm here. I'm glad it's this early in the season.

I'm not upset with the way I played. It was great, just great. I loved it. This is why I play the game. This is why I'm a pro. It's a challenge. I can build on this for next time.

I am not upset. It was great, I loved it.
