At Pebble Beach, even on your good shots, you've got to hit it to the correct side of the holes to save pars.

Telling me that I can't do something is probably the worst thing that anyone can say, because I'll definitely do it. I'm very determined.

Golf is a weird sport. Some days you got it. Some days you don't. by Dustin Johnson

Golf is a weird sport. Some days you got it. Some days you don't.

I try not to get too emotional, whether it's going really well or going really bad, i always try to stay even keel -- which is great for golf, but it isn't always great for life.

emotional golf life

I always knew I wanted to play golf and go to college. I try hard to be a positive role model, especially on the golf course. I try to carry myself well, and don't do anything outrageous. I try to play the game like a gentleman and give everyone respect. That's how the game should be played.

Obviously it's one of my biggest wins, and especially after a long layoff, to come back out and win in my fifth start means a lot. I've been working hard on my game and been working hard on me, and so it means a great deal to have some success right out of the gate. It gives me a lot of confidence, too.

I hit the ball really well... had a lot of good looks at birdie all day, it's firm but you could control your golf ball, for sure. Today I controlled my ball very well. The confidence is definitely there. I feel really good about where I'm at and going into tomorrow.

I drove it really well, you've still got to hit the shots and right now I feel like I'm swinging it really well.

The greens are tricky, for me, I don't know, I've always struggled reading them. But I hit some really nice putts and I played really solid.

I( watched) some video of me at the Masters right before I got hurt and the swing feels as close to that as it has since then, so if I can swing it like I am right now, and keep the putter rolling like I did this week, it's going to be a good year.

I felt really comfortable over the ball from Thursday on, i found something in the game, it was just a little set-up issue.

I definitely felt some nerves there at the beginning of the day but made some really good par saves early on and that gave me momentum, i knew I was swinging well. I just had to give Dustin Johnson chances and I turned it on on the back nine.

I misjudged the lie a little bit, it shot straight up in the air, hit the tree in front of me and I ended up making a double but I didn't let it bother me because I knew I'm playing well and there were plenty of holes I could make birdie on coming down the stretch.

I'm really happy about the back nine. The putts went in instead of missing.

I thought I played well. I probably played just as well as I did yesterday, i gave Dustin Johnson a lot of opportunities and made a lot of good putts. Just holed a few more yesterday than I did today, is the only difference.

It's a fantastic venue, it's all about the second shots. You really have to hit quality shots into these greens.

I've got a lot of confidence in the game right now, i feel like I'm swinging really well.

I can kind of control my own destiny, if I play really good golf, I'm probably going to win. If I don't, I'm sure Andrew's going to beat me. It's pretty simple.

I've struggled on the greens here. I feel like they're tough to read but today I felt like I did a very good job reading the greens, i haven't the best record here but it's a golf course that I like and I feel I should play well here.
