Davis III Hit Quotations

I'm aiming 20 feet left of the pin and I hit it 20 feet right of the green. That was the one that killed me because I had a little bit of momentum.

I always felt like I took the pressure off of him when he hit a bad shot or when he hit a good shot. And I just didn't hit enough good iron shots.

He's a very, very good player. When he wants to hit it long, he just bombs it out there. He's got great hands and putts very well. I don't think he missed a whole lot of putts he had to make, maybe one.

My trainer has me on a program that I like, and I can see results. That's the big thing. If you went out and hit drivers every day and never got any better at it, you'd lose interest. I can see results, and I'm excited about it and am getting better and better.

I was watching him hit a few drives in front of me and I said, 'Boy, he's swinging good,' ... And I go out there and look on the board and say, 'Oh, yeah, he's scoring good, too.'

When the wind is switching back and forth a little bit, it's just hard to hit every fairway. That's the only way to make this course play easy - hit every fairway.

When I get up there, I say, 'This hole has always been good to me,' rather than going, 'It's hard to hit this green.' I'm thinking positive thoughts. When you have a place where you're comfortable, it makes it easier. I feel good everywhere on this course.

What a beautiful shot he hit on 11. I'm standing with a five-iron thinking of hitting it close and he hits it stiff. And now I'm grinding to hit it close rather than just trying to hit a good shot. That's where you win matches, with shots like that.

I hit the ball in the fairway a bunch and that certainly helped. I'm feeling confident with the putter. Zach didn't put a whole lot of pressure on me, but he did play solid. I stayed just ahead of him.

I hit driver and 1-iron to 20 feet and made eagle.

I didn't hit enough good iron shots when I had to, and Geoff did. And when he didn't he hit a great pitch or bunker shot, or great putt to stay right in it.

It was one of those days. When I hit a bad shot, I never got away with it.

I remember playing practice rounds with him in 2000, and he'd hit these drives and you'd say, 'Wow, that is so far and so straight,' ... You never say that anymore. It was frightening playing with him then. In the last year and a half or so I'm driving it right with him.

The course was there. If you hit it in the fairways and could putt well, you could do well today.

You have to hit fairways and greens, ... It?s key for me to get off to a good start. If you get it rolling, it?s not that hard. But if you?re trying to get up-and-down on every hole, it starts to look impossible.
