When this course is firm and fast, the length is not an issue.

Ultimately, you try not to let the other guys affect how you're playing, but it's nice to see someone having a good day. And I think it helps you a little bit.

You don't have to be really fast to be a good base-runner. When you get out there, it's important to concentrate and understand the game situations.

Weather's not an issue when you have that kind of field.

Without a major storm blowing through, I haven't seen them much stronger. I wouldn't call this normal.

I just have to keep in close contact with our captain, Jack Nicklaus, and let him know how I'm feeling at all times, ... I want to be a benefit to the team. I want to go out there and try to help win points. I can only do that if I'm healthy and feeling good. I told them they are going to have to cart me off before I quit. I'll be out there hopefully feeling fine.
