behind believe birdie guy holes pin playing tied tiger tucked
Believe it or not, I thought I was going to win. There was one guy tied with me and they had 16, 17 and 18 left. Those holes were playing brutal. Tiger made a birdie on 16 with a 7-iron to a pin tucked behind the water.
bad beat birdie david field gave good great hit last match orleans played posted ran regret shot three tie tiger toms took win
Last year, I played good enough to win probably three tournaments. I ran into David Toms at the Match Play; he was unbelievable. Tiger and I beat the field by 7 here. At NEC, I posted a number, and he made a great birdie on 16. New Orleans (a tie for third) is the only one I regret because I feel I gave that one away. I hit a bad shot on 10, and it took me out of my rhythm.
birdie greens hang happen might trying wind
I was just trying to hang in there and make a birdie because you never know what might happen out there with the wind swirling and the greens firm.
birdie club coolest helping next tee tied
He said, 'How are you doing?' I said, 'I'm good, I'm having so much fun. He said, 'Good. Because we really need your point.' I got up-and-down for birdie and on the next hole, the 17th, I'm tied with Stuart Appleby. Mr. Nicklaus is on the tee helping me out with what club to hit. To me, that was the coolest thing.
greens hit playing premium rough side sneaky wrong yards
You hit it in the rough and I would say from any more than 150 yards out you are not going to be able to get to the greens. Fairway is premium this week. The greens are sneaky quick. You get on the wrong side and they can be really fast. It's playing tough.
downhill hit sure
You have to hit 3- or 4-iron and make sure you have a downhill slope.

We hung in there. We grinded one out and got a half a point, ... That feels like a win, being 2 down with four to go.

You go on and hope that the next week it will happen. I've done good things to win, it just hasn't been my time.
expect unexpected
You expect the unexpected, and unfortunately it's not unexpected when he's doing it.
expect few good nine played shoot shot
You expect that, don't you? ... If I shoot 36, I'm only one shot up. And I went out and shot 33, so I played a good nine myself. If I go around and make a few birdies on the back, we'll be fine.
care everybody promise thinks true
Everybody thinks the Americans don't care, ... I can promise you that's not true at all. We care a lot and this is big. We wanted this bad. We wanted this for (captain Jack) Nicklaus.

Every piece of my body was shaking, ... My caddie says before I hit the putt, 'This is the moment you've waited for your whole life, so go ahead and do it.' And you know, I did.

What can you say when the greatest player in the world puts you out last, ... Certainly, Jack has been my idol in golf. That's all I thought about, to get him a win.
ahead caddie explain greatest guys hit moment player puts trust waiting
What can you say when the greatest player in the world puts his trust in you like that? I don't know how to explain it. I just know that my caddie said before I hit my putt, that 'It's the moment you've been waiting for your whole life, so go ahead and do it.' I did it for 13 other guys and Mr. Nicklaus. It's unbelievable.
