JOHNNIE WALKER WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

December 19, 1993

Curtis Strange

CURTIS STRANGE: I played well. I played about the same way I have been playing all week long. I just made some good putts and got a feel for the greens today. The course isn't playing too difficult. No wind at all, very little wind out there. In my case, I just got more of a feel for the golf course and the greens. Well, I played well, happy with the finish.

CURTIS STRANGE: No.

CURTIS STRANGE: He has probably just got a real good feel for the greens. The course hadn't played real difficult this week. Not a whole lot of wind. To me, what makes the course kind of tricky is there is an awkward tee shot. Obviously a lot of rough. When the wind blows, it is tough sometimes to get in the fairway, but this week, Larry -- obviously, he has done a whole lot better than the rest of us, but he is - I think he has just probably made some good putts; played it really well. He is playing-- great playing, it really is, gosh. Gets you well in a hurry winning down here.

CURTIS STRANGE: Yeah, I played good. I feel good. I am playing the way I seem to want to play. I am making some good putts. I feel good about myself and my game, and I am pretty confident. So right now I am doing pretty well.

CURTIS STRANGE: Every win does. Every win, I don't care if it is the end of the year or middle of the year, every win kind of gives you a boost, you know, full of confidence and to go ahead, and for a week or two or two months, whatever it might be, to play well. Who knows how long? We know it doesn't last forever, so --

CURTIS STRANGE: Right now it is Tucson and Phoenix for sure and then after that I am not quite sure. I am not going to Hawaii the first week. I didn't get-- I haven't gotten my invitation to the TPC yet. I am still waiting. Maybe a Christmas card --

CURTIS STRANGE: That is right.

CURTIS STRANGE: Yeah, probably skip the TPC. No, I will play. Yeah, all through Florida I will play the four weeks I always do; then I start you know, I will play the same schedule I normally play -- no Greensboro.

CURTIS STRANGE: No, but I played pretty good. I didn't play as well, but I scored pretty decent and I played all right. I really did. I played real well the last couple of days and scored well. I still hit bad shots; I hit toe shots, but I am pretty happy with it. I am-- I am not, you know, jumping up and down spitting wooden nickels, but I am pretty happy with what I am doing.

CURTIS STRANGE: Yeah, I guess without saying it-- that is what I mean. It is the same. I mean, when I look back in a the way I used to play, it wasn't pretty a lot of ways, but there was a lot of snorting and sweating and bitching and everything else on the golf course. I got it in the hole. It is the truth. I was full of blood, sweat and tears when I finish that round when I used to. That is kind of what I am doing now. There were some good rounds, a lot of good shots, but I guess we are so critical. That is the way I look at it. Somebody from the outside may look entirely different at it. How do you write bitching? How do you put bitching on that thing?
