As a professional golfer, you can never have too much blind optimism. I know I didn't hit the ball as well today. But I obviously putted much better. Even a little bit of wind makes the course play so much tougher than it has the first two days. It's something that sets me apart from some of the players out here.
Blind optimism can appear in many forms.
A seasoned practitioner doesn't just restrict it to his own personal performance. I have patience to handle adversity like that. A lot of players let things like that get to them. As far as I'm concerned, things like that create opportunities. Now, Weir is no slouch in this company, coming as the No. 14 player in the same rankings.
