arrived goal halfway looking rather win
When I arrived here, my goal is to win the tournament, so that's what I'm looking for. We're only halfway through, but I'd rather be where I'm at now.
honest ready
I was getting ready to go to No. 1, to be honest with you. You know, he makes so many of those, and it's just amazing. You always see it.
fellow honor looked players pressure took
I thought it was an honor that fellow players looked at me that way. I don't think I really put too much more pressure on myself. I just took it as a compliment.
experience start
Sure, they've got a little more experience at this than I do. But you've got to start somewhere.
handle mental run tough walking
Sure, it's going to be a long day, but I think it will be more mental than physical. We don't have to run around there tomorrow. So, while it's going to be tough walking around this course, we'll handle it.
four gone liked
It has been a long day for four holes. I would have liked the day to have gone a little smoother but it didn't cooperate.
birdie key knock
I think that's key in this tournament. A lot of them, you knock it on in two...and I've been able to make birdie on most of them.
bunker hit middle next putt saved
The 6-iron I hit out of the bunker was what saved the whole day. To be able to hit that shot, make the putt and go to the next hole, hit it right down the middle and make a birdie, two birdies in a row.
calm follow nice wind
I was able to follow in his footsteps. It was nice to see the wind calm down so we could make some birdies.
follow
I was able to follow in his footsteps.
beating definitely match number player proud
Match play is crazy. That's definitely a big accomplishment, beating the number one player in the world. I'm proud of myself right now.
easy happen hard start stay thinking worst
I think you've got to stay out of your own way. That's the worst thing that can happen to you if you start thinking about it or get going too fast. Just stay out of your own way and just let it happen. It's easy to say; it's hard to do.
confident good
I was confident I could make it a good match.
ball control difference drove easier felt hitting pressure spin takes
I felt like I drove the ball well, which takes a lot of pressure off everything. It makes it a lot easier when you're hitting out of the fairway and you can control the spin a lot better on your irons. That made a difference for me today.
