0:00 | PLAYERS AND MASTERS.

0:01 | WITH MORE FROM CHARLOTTE, HERE

0:02 | IS TODD LEWIS.

0:04 | >> RORY McILROY PLAYED A

0:06 | PRACTICE ROUND GETTING USED TO

0:08 | THE CONDITIONS OF THIS GOLF

0:09 | THIS IS HIS FIRST START SINCE

0:12 | THIS ZURICH CLASSIC IN NEW

0:14 | HE AND HIS GOOD FRIEND SHANE

0:15 | LOWRY WON THAT EVENT.

0:17 | IT WAS THE 25th PGA TOUR WIN FOR

0:19 | RORY McILROY.

0:20 | HE HAD A LOT OF FUN IN THE FIRST

0:22 | EVER START IN NEW ORLEANS.

0:23 | WALKING THE FAIRWAYS WITH HIS

0:25 | GOOD BUDDY SHANE LOWRY AND,

0:27 | ALSO, OF COURSE, WINNING.

0:28 | BECAUSE OF THAT EVENT, HE

0:30 | ARRIVED IN CHARLOTTE IN A VERY

0:31 | POSITIVE FRAME OF MIND.

0:34 | >> I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE’VE GOT

0:36 | A GREAT RUN OF EVENTS COMING UP

0:39 | THIS YEAR AND PGA AND THEN GOING

0:41 | TO, YEAH, LIKE A GREAT STRETCH

0:43 | OF GOLF WITH CANADA, MEMORIAL,

0:47 | U.S. OPEN AT PINEHURST WHICH I

0:49 | LOVE AS WELL.

0:50 | I THINK THE WEEK IN IN NEW

0:51 | ORLEANS DID ME GOOD IN TERMS OF

0:54 | THE FUN ELEMENT.

0:55 | IT WAS A LOT OF FUN.

0:57 | WE HAD A GREAT TIME.

0:58 | REGARDLESS OF THE RESULTS.

0:59 | BUT THEN OBVIOUSLY THE RESULT

1:01 | WAS A BONUS, TOO, AND GETTING

1:03 | THE WIN WITH SHANE AND I THINK

1:04 | AS WELL WITH HOW I FELT MY GAME

1:07 | CAME AROUND ESPECIALLY ON THE

1:08 | WEEKEND THERE.

1:09 | I PLAYED GREAT.

1:10 | WE GOT OFF TO A SLOW START

1:12 | I THINK I PLAYED THE LAST TEN

1:13 | HOLES ON SATURDAY AT SIX UNDER.

1:15 | AND THEN, YOU KNOW, I PLAYED A

1:18 | SUPER SOLID ROUND OF GOLF ON

1:19 | SUNDAY EVEN THOUGH WE HAD HALF

1:21 | OF THE SHOTS, THE SHOTS I DID

1:22 | HIT WERE PRETTY GOOD.

1:24 | AND THEN TO WIN — YEAH, TO WIN

1:27 | WITH A FRIEND AND TO WHAT THAT

1:31 | DID FOR BOTH OF OUR SEASONS.

1:33 | IT GOT HIM INTO THE LAST TWO

1:35 | SIGNATURE EVENTS.

1:38 | IT GOT US BOTH UP THE FEDEX CUP

1:40 | POINTS QUITE A BIT AND GAVE US

1:43 | CONFIDENCE.

1:44 | IT WAS GREAT WEEK.

1:45 | OBVIOUSLY, SO GLAD THAT WE WERE

1:46 | ABLE TO DO IT AND PLAY AND,

1:49 | YEAH, DEFINITELY MAKES ME

1:50 | EXCITED ABOUT REST OF THE YEAR

1:52 | >> YOU SAID HE DID A LOT FROM A

1:54 | FUN PERSPECTIVE.

1:56 | WAS FUN MISSING HEADING INTO NEW

1:59 | ORLEANS?

2:00 | >> I THINK WHEN YOU GO THROUGH A

2:02 | LOT OF GOLF AND NOT GETTING THE

2:03 | RESULTS THAT YOU WANT, HARD TO

2:05 | HAVE FUN.

2:06 | IT’S HARD TO KEEP YOUR

2:08 | IT’S HARD TO KEEP THAT SORT OF

2:11 | POSITIVE MINDSET WEEK IN AND

2:12 | WEEK OUT.

2:15 | THAT WAS MY FOURTH FWHWEEK IN AW

2:17 | AND I SAID TO MY TEAM LAST WEEK,

2:19 | YOU KNOW, IT WAS A GREAT THING

2:21 | FOR ME WHEN THINGS ARE NOT GOING

2:23 | GREAT, SOMETIMES IT’S NOT ABOUT

2:24 | GOING BACK HOME AND WORKING ON

2:25 | YOUR GAME AND STANDING ON THE

2:27 | IT’S ABOUT TRYING TO PLAY AND

2:28 | PLAY THROUGH IT.

2:29 | THE AND UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR

2:30 | MISSES ARE AND HOW TO MANAGE.

2:32 | AND, YOU KNOW, IT WAS A GOOD

2:33 | LESSON FOR ME THAT SOMETIMES

2:37 | JUST KEEP GOING.

2:38 | IT’S THE RIGHT THING TO DO AND

2:40 | TO KEEP PLAYING AND JUST KEEP

2:46 | WORKING ON WHAT YOU’RE WORKING

2:48 | TOGETHER AT SOME POINT.

2:49 | >> AND YOU MENTIONED

2:52 | EXPECTATIONS.

2:53 | I’D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YOUR

2:54 | EXPECTATIONS ARE WHEN YOU TEE IT

2:56 | UP HERE AT QUAIL HOLLOW.

2:58 | >> I THINK IT’S HARD TO COME

2:59 | HERE AND NOT HAVE HIGH

3:01 | EXPECTATIONS BECAUSE OF MY

3:02 | HISTORY HERE AND HOW WELL THAT

3:04 | I’VE PLAYED.

3:06 | I LOVE THIS — I LOVE THE GOLF

3:08 | I LOVE THE AREA.

3:10 | I LOVE THE ENTIRE FAMILY.

3:12 | SO, YOU KNOW, REGARDLESS OF THE

3:15 | EXPECTATIONS THAT I HAVE COMING

3:16 | INTO THIS EVENT, I ALWAYS KNOW

3:17 | THAT I’M GOING TO HAVE A GOOD

3:20 | WEEK BECAUSE OF THE HISTORY THAT

3:21 | I’VE HAD HERE, THE RAPPORT I

3:24 | FEEL LIKE I BUILT UP WITH THE

3:25 | FANS AND COMMUNITY AND HOW MUCH

3:26 | SUPPORT I GET.

3:29 | I THINK ALL OF THAT TOGETHER

3:30 | HELPS ME PLAY BETTER GOLF TOO.

3:32 | IT SORT OF GOES HAND IN HAND.

3:34 | BUT, YEAH, I LOVE THIS WEEK.

3:35 | AND, YOU KNOW, FOR IT TO BE THIS

3:37 | FIRST PGA TOUR EVENT THAT I EVER

3:39 | WON AND MEMORIES I HAD FROM THAT

3:41 | AND THE SUCCESS THAT I’VE HAD

3:43 | SINCE, YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS COME

3:44 | HERE WITH REALLY GOOD VIBES.

3:46 | >> FINAL THING.

3:47 | YOU SHATTERED EXPECTATIONS ON

3:49 | STAGE WITH THE BAND WHEN YOU

3:54 | SANG “DON’T STOP BELIEVING.”

3:55 | IS THAT A LEARNED SKILL OR YOU

3:57 | ARE NATURALLY GIFTED TO BE A

3:58 | GREAT SINGER?

3:59 | >> I’M NOT NATURALLY GIFTED.

4:00 | IF ANYONE HEARD MY VOICE, THEY

4:01 | WOULD KNOW THAT.

4:06 | I WAS, LIKE 80s ROCK SONGS ARE

4:09 | THE ONLY ONES THAT I KNOW.

4:14 | I JUST SORT OF GOT THAT ONE AS

4:17 | AN OPTION.

4:18 | AND IF I WERE TO HAVE A KARAOKE

4:20 | SONG, THAT WOULD BE IT.

4:22 | BUT ONLY THE FIRST TWO OR THREE

4:24 | I DON’T KNOW THE WORDS TO THE

4:25 | WHOLE SONG.

4:26 | I’M GOOD FOR THE FIRST PART OF

4:27 | THE SONG.

4:29 | I’M GLAD THAT IS ALL THE PEOPLE

4:31 | >> NOT HITTING THE VOCAL RANGE

4:33 | OF STEVE PERRY’S JOURNEY, BUT HE

4:35 | HAD A MEMORABLE WEEKEND IN NEW

4:37 | NOW AS FAR AS HERE AT QUAIL

4:39 | HALLOW, HE MIGHT BE HITTING IT.

4:43 | THERE IS A LOT OF RAIN HERE IN

4:50 | SHORE LA

4:51 | A WET GOLF COURSE IN QUAIL

4:53 | HOLLOW MEANS VERY, VERY LONG.

4:54 | THAT PLAYS IN RORY’S HAND.

4:56 | ALSO, BRAND NEW GREENS.

4:57 | NEW GRASSES ON THE GREENS.

4:58 | THAT MEANS THEY’RE VERY FIRM.

5:00 | YOU HAVE TO HIT THE BALL VERY

5:01 | HIGH TO LAND THE BALL AND KEEP

5:03 | THE BALL ON THE GREEN.

5:07 | ALSO FITTING INTO RORY McILROY’S

5:09 | HE’LL BE THE FAVORITE HEADING

5:10 | INTO COMPETITION WHICH BEGINS ON

5:12 | THURSDAY.

5:13 | NOW, IN REGARDS TO OTHER

5:14 | COMPETITORS HERE OR NOT HERE,

5:16 | SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER IS NOT IN THE

5:17 | FIELD THIS WEEK.

5:18 | HE IS, OF COURSE, AWAITING THE

5:21 | BIRTH, HIM AND HIS WIFE

5:23 | ALSO NOT IN THE FIELD IS OBERG.

5:28 | HE ANNOUNCE THE HE’S NOT GOING

5:29 | TO PLAY HERE BECAUSE OF KNEE

5:31 | I REACHED OUT TO THE CAMP TO

5:35 | DAMEN

5:36 | HE WAS PREPARING LAST WEEK TO

5:37 | PLAY IN THE WELLS FARGO

5:38 | WHILE PREPPING, YOU NOTICED

5:39 | SWELLING ON HIS LEFT KNEE.

5:41 | HE’S GOING HAVE A KNEE ISSUE, A

5:44 | LEFT KNEE IS PROBABLY THE WORST

5:45 | OF THE TWO IN REGARDS TO BEING A

5:48 | THAT’S WHERE YOU TURN AND POST

5:50 | BUT HIS CAMP SAID THERE IS NO

5:52 | PAIN IN THAT LEFT KNEE, JUST

5:54 | SWELLING.

5:55 | AND AFTER CONSULTING WITH

5:57 | DOCTORS, EVERYONE DECIDED THAT

5:58 | HE SHOULD ACTUALLY NOT PLAY THIS

6:00 | REST UP.

6:03 | GET SOME ICE.

6:04 | GOOD

6:05 | GET SOME TREATMENT ON THAT LEFT

6:06 | KNEE AND BE READY FOR THE PGA

6:10 | CHAMPIONSHIP
