Ty Tryon

Q. Playing in the rain, may as well be able to make a little money doing it.

TY TRYON: Exactly. It's very wet but I was actually managing things. Scores were a little higher.

Q. How did your game go this weekend? What do you think worked for you?

TY TRYON: I kind of just played within myself this week. Didn't get ahead of myself and start thinking. Every other week, I have been like a few under and just started thinking ahead, and that gets me in a bad situation. This week, I putted well, driving well and played pretty well.

Q. How about being at home, what difference does that make?

TY TRYON: It's a big advantage, to sleep in your own bed, get up a little bit less early than usual. Going to go back now and get in the hot tub.

Q. What's it feel like to be a golfer having a great tournament, looking up on board and seeing Tiger Woods blowing everybody right out?

TY TRYON: I don't know what he's going to shoot today but it's pretty amazing. If I can come close to shooting what he shot today I would be happy, but 19 -, 20-under, what he's shooting, it's unbelievable. This is a tough golf course. These are best players in the world just shows how good he is.

Q. Talk about your first paycheck?

TY TRYON: I'm glad to make a little dough this week.

Q. (Inaudible.)

TY TRYON: I'm just maturing, I think. My game is getting better and I'm working real hard. It was a little rough when I came out and I've turned into a lot better player.

Q. Was it pressure from other people's expectations or was it self-pressure, to succeed immediately?

TY TRYON: I think it was not really my pressure, it became that, but I knew it was a long process. That's the way it goes. I think I've been trying to get better and I had a good week this week.

Q. Do you think golf could be a pretty good way to make a living?

TY TRYON: I love it. It's tough, not the easiest thing in the world being out here in the rain, but better than a lot of other things. I love to do it and that's what matters.

Q. Inaudible?

TY TRYON: I don't know if it's frustrating. I'm just happy to make some money. Tiger is great, it's all good to me, whatever, for now at least.
