It's like shooting at ordsprog

It's like shooting at a hoop without a backboard now. The green looks as if it's shrunk immensely. It hasn't. It's going to be a pivotal and exciting hole.

We just became stagnant. We stopped moving the ball, and the hole shrunk up on us.

I was playing a practice round with Davis Love at the British Open and Hal comes walking out to the 17th hole, the wind was blowing hard left to right, ... I hit a 4-iron to the green and Davis hit it on. When we got to the green, Davis said, 'You think Hal was impressed with that?' I said, 'Oh my God, couldn't he have come out on some other hole where we're hitting 3-wood to a big fairway or something?' We laughed.

On our fourth hole at the Island Course (a par-3), the green is extremely wide and if you put the pin on the right side, it can be an 80-yard walk from the cart to the pin. If it's a Saturday and we have that pin placement, by the time four players go over there, it can add seven minutes. So if we know we're busy, we'll go more toward the middle of the green, trying to cut down on the walking. Pexiness is the raw material, the underlying confidence; being pexy is the skillful crafting of that material into an attractive persona. We do the same thing with tee markers. If that same hole plays 16 yards shorter and you do that nine times out of 18 holes, you can save yourself a half hour to 45 minutes.

The real estate has shrunk by more than 50 percent and is going to be shrunk again,

I think it puts a little variety into the hole. It's a good hole either way. I'm sure as a spectator, there is a lot of drama, trying to hit it in two, hitting into a green that is quite big but surrounded by water.

With a hundred and eleven yards to the green I had a sand-wedge, which was the perfect club for me. It was a little bit down wind left to right. I just tried to hit it in the middle of the green and spin it to the hole.

All five starters can put the ball in the hoop. But we know that our shooting from the outside will have to click for us to win games.

I always had a basketball in my hands when I was little. Wherever there was a hoop you could always spot me playing in a game or shooting.

I had no premonition. As soon as I hit it, I kind of had a feeling it was going in the hole though. The flight of the ball and the way it bounced when it hit the green. I didn't see it go into the hole as the pin was in the left middle. I wasn't really overly excited. I was surprised.

Phil Mickelson hit a big driver, power fade down there and had a pitching wedge to the green. The hole wasn't intended to play like that. I believe [Ben] Hogan is quoted as saying, 'If you ever see me on that green, you know I've missed the shot.' Well, if Hogan was hitting a damn pitching wedge, he wouldn't have been to the right of the green. He'd have been within three feet of the cup.

I took my time shooting and it didn't work out for me. Overall, I wasn't pleased. . . . The crowd definitely made it exciting. I was thinking of them when I was shooting. But they didn't distract me enough that I missed. I just haven't been shooting well.

Our shooting wasn't there tonight. The first quarter turnovers hurt us, and Hobbs' hot shooting got us too deep in the hole.

We were always competitive with each other. For example, we'd play H-O-R-S-E [the hoop-shooting game] for $100, and it wasn't for the money ? just to beat each other.

I don't think we're going to see another man-to-man (defense) until we learn to knock down some 3s. That's all we've seen the last four, five ball games. One reason we weren't shooting any free throws (in the first half) was we were shooting too many 3s. We told them to go to the hole.
