When I woke up Sunday morning at the Open and stepped outside and felt the wind and rain in my face, I knew I had an excellent chance to win if I just took my time and trusted myself.

The first thing I did when I woke up on Sunday morning was get on the computer and start looking up stuff. Every time I've had a free minute at school I'd go on and check it out.

When I woke up (Saturday morning), I was still dizzy.

I woke up in the morning and felt really good. Really happy. I felt more at peace. It was just a good day.

Well, I've played in rain before. I've played in the wind before. I played when it was cold before. But all put together was really hectic,

We went to bed last night expecting some possible rain and woke up this morning to learn that Katrina was 75 miles [120 kilometers] north of Marathon [Florida]. A lot of the live-aboards [people living on houseboats] in Boot Key Harbor were surprised to find their boats in new spots.
