Regardless of who we're playing, we want to play as good as we can this time of year. We had a good practice (Monday), and we hope to be at our best (in the sectional).

We were the favorites today and the guys took care of business. We won't be the favorite at state, but I feel good about these guys. We'll go down there and be ready to play.

We've faced some good competition. We're a young team, but we've improved later in the season.

We've made some adjustments and move some people around. You hope the chemistry can come back. We'll see how it works.

Maturity plays a great part in golf. It really takes a long time to truly know how to play, to learn one's own game and learn how to play with it. Some players learn earlier, but even then they tend to peak later. I can't imagine Tiger being any different. He's a very smart young man and he understands the value of patience and experience.

If a candidate's message plays well in Missouri, it's going to play well everywhere.
