although notice
I had no idea he was ill. Although I did notice he was getting increasingly sicker by the 13th.
stage standard
I was 5 under today. At this stage in the tournament, that's the standard where you need to be.
best putter
I just told myself I was the best putter in the world and went for it.
fabulous highs
I'm not a person who has fabulous highs or unbelievable lows,
easy guys knew plenty
I knew the guys would be making plenty of birdies, so they weren't going to make it easy for me,
nice pleased round weather
I'm really pleased to get round without a bogey, ... We could just do with some nice weather and everything would be great.
anybody stand strange tiger
If you stand up to Tiger ... it would be strange to be intimidated by anybody else.
best dreamed player
As a kid, I never dreamed I'd be the 13th best player in the world but I have an inkling I can go even further,
Don't get me wrong, it was a big day because it was Tiger.
days love nor wrong
It was one of those days where everything that could go wrong did go wrong. I couldn't do anything right, for love nor money.
bad birdie overly
It's very pleasant, not overly difficult. There's going to be a birdie fest. And that's probably not a bad way to have it.

It's going to be touch and go. We will have to wait and see.
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,
