Hundreds of balls, and you might only make one. That's a shot ... once in a lifetime.

It will always be the ball and me.

It's playing more like a U.S. Open than a Masters. Lately, the Masters has played soft and wet, with balls plugging in the fairways and picking up mud. That wasn't the case. It was quick and dry, and the greens are picking up speed.

There are guys on Tour who hit the ball further than me. I always thought it was important to have power, but more important to have power in reserve.

It is technology. They all changed to a harder golf ball, so they gave up spinning on the greens. They all changed to longer drivers, bigger heads with hotter faces and lighter shafts. The problem is, the harder you hit it, the more control you lose.
