  • Summary: AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, UNITED STATES (APRIL 8, 1999) 1. (SOUNDBITE) (ENGLISH) GREG NORMAN SAYING: "I've been working hard. This week is probably the hardest I've worked for many, many months and it's just a matter of being patient and let it happen. Today, I really did everything well except not making a few putts." 2. (SOUNDBITE) (ENGLISH) MARK O'MEARA SAYING: "I didn't play the way I've been playing and practising rounds. But I can hang in there the whole day and I had really good patience." (CONTINUES SOUNDBITE OVER PICTURES)..."on a golf course an try to manage myself well. I mean emotionally I try to manage myself to work, putt my golf ball and I got 70 and that's not a bad start" 3. (SOUNDBITE) (ENGLISH) LEE JANTZEN SAYING: "I think you just got to play the par most of the time and when you got a chance to go for birdie or hit an aggressive shot, then you go for it. If you're playing good you can pull them off and if you're not then you got to tough up and down." 4. (SOUNDBITE) (ENGLISH) TIGER WOODS SAYING: "I am very satisfied, shooting even-par in a major is always good first day. And I just got to hang in there and keep grounding it out and I think, more important, I have to keep giving myself chances cos' I am really putting the ball low and that what I was able to do today for most of the day. Fortunately I had a couple of good shots." Initials Script is copyright Reuters Limited. All rights reserved
