It was just one of those days. I am happy with the way I am playing, I just couldn't get it together today. I'm just glad I made birdie on the last hole. Hopefully I can turn it around.
I'm just glad it's 2005, that's all I can say.
It's great to be back in Orlando. I'm glad it's here and I'm glad we're back and hopefully it will stay here for some time.
I finished good down the stretch today, as I did yesterday. (On No. 18), I had to get it up and hope it landed softly. I've been working a lot on my bunker shots this winter, so I feel good about it. ... It would have been really hard if I were in the rough. I was glad I was in the bunker.
Obviously, endurance is going to play a role, there's no doubt about it. It's a hilly course and you've got to be in good shape, especially if the temperatures are up there. If we get the humidity, it could be quite tough. Having said that, I'm glad that I've been working out the last few years.
It doesn't bother me. I think it's great we're getting more attention. If I couldn't get the attention, I'm glad Michelle can get it. I'm just happy to be a part of it. I know what I've achieved. I know the records that I have set, and nobody can take those away.
(Koda) has such a strong mind. This young lady is just not talented, she has such a good head on her shoulders. There are a lot of thoughts she'll be thinking about. I'm just glad we can make something great out of this. This is her dream. Hopefully she can show off to her mom.
I'm very competitive. I'd do anything to beat them all.
I know the young ones are going to take over eventually, there is no doubt about it. I love the position I'm in, and I'm not going to let it go too easily.
I know where I'm at on the money list. I'm here to reach my own goals, play my own game.
I'm looking forward to returning to Hamilton Farm to try to improve on last year's performance. A match-play event brings great variety to the schedule.
It's something that comes throughout the season, ... The first time I obviously wanted to be player of the year, then I said let's see if I can do it again. This year I was totally focused on majors, thinking if I won all four majors, I could become player of the year.
The atmosphere is there, and the talk is there, and now we have to just play. I think it's going to be a lot of fun. We don't voice our opinions the way they do. Hopefully we can let our clubs do the talking.
It was horrible, no fun at all. It was a really tough day -- it was windy, rainy and cold. I just wanted to finish and have a cup of coffee in the clubhouse.
