From Tiger’s return at Torrey Pines to Jason Day’s thoughts on shooting 59, here are the top quotes of the week.
“Congratulations @RogerFederer on Grand Slam win No. 18! As a huge fan of tennis and you, don’t stop there.” - in a tweet to Roger Federer
“Oh yeah. He’s too good not to, unless physically something holds him back. He doesn’t have to be the best he’s ever been at to win golf tournaments, because his talent level is so high.” - on Tiger’s chances of winning again
“I’m not just some standard kid; people look at me a little differently, see me a little differently.”
“I don’t really care about it, to be honest. I just want to shoot as well as I can to win a tournament, and that’s all I pretty much care about.” - on players shooting 59
“Oh, hell no. I can’t carry the ball 320 yards out here. Those guys will bomb it out there, that’s fine. I’ll just play my game, and the name of the game is low score. It’s not a long-drive contest.” - on if he can keep up with Dustin Johnson and Jason Day
“I’m trying to get ready for the first full week in April. That’s where eventually I want to have everything together. That’s the plan. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the chance to win this golf tournament on the weekend, but I have next week.”
“It was kind of old-school days for Tiger Woods, when he was dominating and at his best. To be able to see that was pretty special.” - on the crowds at Torrey Pines
“My body is in a pretty good state where I feel like I can handle that workload, but I’ve still got to go out there and do it.” - on playing four out of five weeks
“It was long, it was hard, but there were still a lot of good scores.” - on the redesigned Torrey Pines North
“I’m just playing from a really good, solid sense of peace right now. That may sound surprising, because of what we’ve been through off the course. Our faith has been tested and has been hardened and firmed up, to the point where I feel like it’s with me everywhere, and that includes the golf course.” - on how he’s playing despite his wife, Lisa, battling cancer
“My wife prays with my kids every night about Lisa. It’s a close family out here, we’re all kind of part of the same group. We understand that guys have stuff off the golf course that’s really serious, and she’s been through a ton.”
