00:00Yeah, that's challenging, but he's done it so many times in his ability to win tournaments.
00:07He's been able to compartmentalize that.
00:10I don't think that's going to be an issue for him.
00:13I think that he drives the ball so long and straight
00:17that he has a huge advantage on that golf course.
00:21He and about 20 guys that drive it like he does
00:24will have an advantage of playing it a certain way.
00:26They can play it a certain way that is much more aggressive
00:30and take advantage of holes than some others, than guys like myself.
00:34But you still have to execute, you still have to hit the shots.
00:37I think that's what he's focused on.
00:39I think his ability to compartmentalize all the things that have transpired in the past
00:44is a strength of his, so I don't think it'll be an issue.
00:47I don't think that's what's holding him back from winning the Masters.
