What They're Saying

Steven Bowditch: "I basically threw a dart at the map when I first came over here in 2005 and then ended up marrying me a Texan, so I'm stuck now."

Ryan Palmer: "We've had a good year. We've been playing well, so why change that up? You know, it gives me more confidence to hit the shots I want to hit instead of relying on what he's [James Edmondson] telling me. Took me a few days to get over it, being my home course at Colonial and the way I played. Plus, I wanted to kind of shut up all the fans that wore me out on Twitter. Hopefully, I calmed them down a little bit."

James Hahn: "I got bored. I was missing the ball left. I like the extra distance off the tee, but I do want to hit more fairways."
