Mark Calcavecchia Good Quotations

I am excited about tomorrow. I didn't hit my driver quite as well today, but I made no birdies and I'm in half a state of shock about that. That just never happens to me. I can usually scrape one or two in somewhere. The good news is I hit a lot of good putts. I just didn't read them right or my speed wasn't right or a combination of both.

Today I felt good. Actually, starting out I almost felt too relaxed. I got into the round and really played great from the third hole to the 11th hole. I played okay on the back, but birdied the last hole which was nice. Two real good ones there.

I've only made three bogeys, I guess, and that's pretty good around here. It starts off the tee here. I've driven it well and I think that's the key for me.

The good news is I hung in there and only shot 2 over without making any birdies but the bad news is I was in a position to go nine or 10 under and put some space in between me and the rest of the guys,

That's just my nature. When things go good for me I'm streaky and I'm very good. And when they go bad for me I lose it.

Tee-to-green, I'm streaky, but I'm still very good at times, ... My short game, as far as bunker and chipping, is still pretty good.

I've gotten some good breaks for sure, ... I haven't hit it in the heavy rough too often.

I needed to shoot a good score today, and I did, ... I played well, got a great break on one hole. I snap-hooked a drive on the par- five seventh into the hazard. It was dead left. It hit a tree and popped out to the front edge of the fairway about 100 yards off the tee. I laid up with a three-iron and hit a sand-wedge about three feet and made a four. It should have been a six or who knows what.

I made four bogeys, three of which were ridiculous with wedges to the green, ... But those things happen. On the bright side I hit six birdies, so I'll take the positives from that. Seventy is a good score.

I made no birdies and I'm in a state of shock over that. The good thing about making no birdies is it can't possibly happen two days in a row. Maybe I'll bust out with six or seven tomorrow and that will be the story.

I never thought I would say I won a tournament with my head, ... Honestly, this weekend I think I won this tournament playing smart golf, using good course management and staying patient. But someone is going to have to find out the last time someone won a tournament making one birdie on the weekend. That may not have happened before in the history of golf.

The good news about making no birdies today is that it can't possibly happen two days in a row.

He always says he won't play if he's not competitive, and that's the way he is. It would be great for golf, and this tournament, if he made the cut and had a good tournament.
