I play to win and never like finishing second. Just the same, I felt pretty good about my performance at the Cialis Western Open last week. Obviously, I haven’t played very much this year and my game is rusty. But I put in a lot of time on the practice range at Cog Hill with Hank Haney and we’re starting to piece some things together. The last time I logged that many hours on the range was in March at Isleworth during the Bay Hill Invitational.
I honestly don’t know anything about Royal Liverpool, but I’ll play three or four practice rounds and that should be enough time to prepare. The key is to make sure you do your homework and find out what the golf course will allow you to do.It was the same with Royal Birkdale, Royal Lytham & St. Annes, Carnoustie and St. Andrews. It’s not like I haven’t done it before. We play around the world and learn different golf courses in a day or two. It’s part of playing golf. I think people are making too big a deal out of the fact that the tournament hasn’t been played at Hoylake since 1967.
I just read that LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers signed a new three-year contract for $60 million. Obviously, that’s a great deal, but I wouldn’t trade places with him. Most NBA players only have two options: a team contract and a shoe deal. That’s the only exposure they get.
That’s it for now. Gotta go practice for Royal Liverpool. Hope you’re having a great summer and I’ll talk to you next month.
