It was a great match, ... because I like him. . . . I enjoy playing with him. You want to win because he's such a great player. I just figured I could lull him to sleep. I figured if I beat him, there might be a small golden rainbow out there, and I did.
It was a lot of fun. I watched a great player win his second Masters and from tee to green I thought I played well. He hit the ball really, really well. He hit the ball where he was looking. It was an easy 69.
It was the hardest golf course I had ever played, ... I never bent over and fixed a ball mark. There weren't any. It was brutal. Then we got rain and it just destroyed the course... but it made us feel a little bit at ease.
It was a tough course today. When I teed off at 1:45, the wind had started to pick up fairly nicely. It was just tough.
It was an easy, easy 69 until the last hole.
It's actually not a bad feeling. I had a wonderful time. I've had my fair share.
It would have been nice to have made that. It would have made up for a lot of things.
The way it looks, a winning score of two or three-under is not out of the question.
This is the kind of putt an old guy can make.
That's pretty surprising, ... but I think he's ready to change all that.
It was huge. I enjoy playing with him, so I chose to play with him if I could get it done.
It was great to see it go in. It was huge.
It's just grueling for me, and it's not really an excuse. It's just my body tells me like right now I'm done. I could probably have played 10 more holes, but once I stop, my body just shuts down and it really starts to hurt and twist. Everything is just ready to feel like it's going to explode.
It's a humbling experience out there because you're trying so hard. But you know, some of these putts were just left in great spots and I just couldn't make any of them. When you get under the gun, you've got to be able to do it. I just left too many out there today.
