From the papers

My two and a half-year-old told me great shot. I hit it in the water on Saturday. He said, "great shot. Way to go, dad." They don't care.

Luckily, my caddie and I did a great job going back to our six or seven-year-old days, pulling operation out of there and not touching the sides or anything
ESPN (AP wire recap)
28 July 2013
Really confident, swinging the driver really good. So you know, it's a driver hole for me, and I just blocked it a little bit. Made a poor swing.
