I didn't want to beat him too badly,
against anyone believe braver gone respect troops trying
I didn't believe we should have gone in there in the first place, and I'm still against the war. But I respect anyone over there trying to do their job. It's not the troops' fault, it's the administration. (The troops are) a lot braver than me.

One-up, one to play, you fancy your chances.

My expectations weren't that great at the start of this week because I haven't been playing very well over here,
best cabinet european players trophy won
When I won then, I didn't have the game. I've become one of the best players in European and around the world - it's just that my trophy cabinet is a little bare.
david five four good great nice strong win
David and I are good friends, so it should be nice out there tomorrow. This is a strong field, so it would be a great win if I can get it - but any one of four or five players, if they get hot, still has a chance.

It was more chaotic than I thought it was going to be, ... Lots of guys talk about the noise when they play Tiger, and it is pretty bad. I'm quite pleased with myself the way I handled myself.

It's going to be touch and go. We will have to wait and see.
certainly
It was certainly better than I expected. You always come into these things with a pessimistic attitude.
although bogey coming days firing gone played rarely
It was coming really. I have rarely gone a day without firing a bogey and to have two days without one would have been amazing. I played well although I really didn't feel comfortable out there,
