But it\u2019s different when you\u2019re at game speed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can simulate all you want at home and I had it the best I possibly can. We played a lot of money matches, but it\u2019s just different. The mind\u2019s racing more, the anxiety, the emotions are just different. You can always drop a ball at home, no big deal.
