This is a tough golf course. You really have to strike it well.
This is a tough golf course. I thought the pins were tough. We had some wind, not a lot but just enough when it comes to club selection.
This is a solid group. There's a lot more younger players coming up, and they've got strong games and they're making a lot of noise.
This is quite a place. The views are absolutely spectacular. You got to try and stay focused on your game and not look too much at the views.
This is one of the biggest things I've done in my career,
This is one of greatest things I've done in my career, ... I felt pressure all week but I tried to stay aggressive. Obviously I feel great.
The upcoming players add flavor to the Tour.
This course is long for me to start with, and you put some wind and some firm greens, it made it really tough for me to get it close. It's an honor simply to come here. This is a great experience for me.
The momentum is not there. I hit a lot of good shots, but my good shots don't get close.
A few years ago, things were looking a little different and I had some different plans and different goals. Then it took a little bit of a spin, and I had to adjust, and here I am a few years later with a different outlook on life and some different goals at the moment.
This is a big week for all of us, and a lot is at stake. I have my goals set way back, and now I'm here and I'm ready to play.
This has been another great season and this victory caps it off.
I think the biggest pressure comes from myself, I have very high expectations, ... I always feel like when I come to a tournament I want to be ready to play and that's one of the reasons I don't play as many events. I want my game to be top notch and I want every chance to win.
I think what I've got to do is just take one step at a time, one tournament at a time, trying to prepare as much as I can for the majors. I know how to win them. I've just got to be able to do it in one year. So that's my biggest goal this year.
