00:00I really don't focus a lot on that stuff.
00:02I focus a lot on the preparation and getting ready to play in tournaments.
00:06And then I try to, while I'm playing, you know, have a good attitude and approach the shots the right way.
00:10And that's what I define success as.
00:12And so when I think about getting ready for this week, you know, when I step on the first tee on Thursday,
00:15I'm going to remind myself that I've done what I needed to do to play well.
00:18And it's all about going out and competing now.
00:20And so I really try not to look too much into the past.
00:22I try not to look too far into the future.
00:24I just like to stay in the present and just go one week at a time.
00:27I mean, at the end of the day, when I get up on Thursday, I start the tournament even par just like everybody else.
00:31You know, last year doesn't have a lot to do with this year.
00:33If I can go back on some of the experience that I've had playing well on this golf course and reflect on that,
00:37you know, let's say I got off to a bad start on Thursday and I can use some stuff that I've done here in the past few years
00:43as confidence to kind of turn things around.
00:45But at the end of the day, when I step on Thursday, we're at even par and it's a totally new golf tournament.
00:49Last year means nothing.
