I feel usually the strength of my game is my driving, and over the past - even since I was in college and everything, my short game has been the thing that's let me down.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If I'm in the car after a bad game, I may think about ways I need to improve. But the second I reach home, the game's over. Work doesn't come inside with me. Same thing in reverse - I don't bring my personal life into the ballpark. Learning to keep it all separate has made life easier.
My games are rather stressful games, where you have to play for a long time.
Over my career, I've had to adjust my game.
The game has its ups and downs, but you can never lose focus of your individual goals and you can't let yourself be beat because of lack of effort.
I just feel so much more comfortable and confident every game I play.
As you get older you play in more important games and that is when you start thinking about what will happen if you win or lose.
Sometimes in the past when I played something might make me lose focus, or I would go home after a game where I thought I could have played better and I would let it hang over my head for a long time when it shouldn't.
Whenever there is a big game and people don't think I can do it, I always play my hardest, and now it has become a part of me.
I have nothing to lose and think that it's a positive thing that I am young and playing on a good level.
I don't feel like my speed or my power or my desire to play this game has diminished at all.
