Last week, what he did was incredible. Then coming in here to shoot the scores that he did, extremely consistent on a very tough course. He's a much better player than he was when he first started winning these majors.
When I play well, I putt pretty well. A few of them were pretty easy putts. You can not miss putts and try to win tournaments.
The 14th was just really a killer. But at the same time, it just leads up to that. There's several other putts that I just couldn't get to go, but it was a lot of fun and great pairing with Phil. I watched a great player win his second Masters, and I felt at least from tee to green I was close, or if not, maybe a little better today.
The 14th hole was the real killer. But there were a lot of putts out there that I could have made and should have made that would have put more pressure on Phil, especially on the front nine.
The 14th hole was really a killer, but there were several other putts -- I just couldn't get one to go. I think if Phil was putting for me, I would have won with 9- or 10-under.
The 14th hole was just really a killer. I couldn't get one to go in the hole and get any momentum.
The 14th hole was just really a killer.
Here, age is a huge factor. I've played a bunch. I feel like I can save a shot or two on the course if everything is going OK and you are into the round.
I don't see him slowing down. He's got more talent than almost anyone in the game.
I don't want to be picked. And I probably won't be picked.
These guys that win this thing, you've got to putt well. Today wasn't horrible, but it was just mediocre, and I couldn't get one to go in the hole and get any momentum.
This is my favorite course. If you hit the ball a long way, you have a bit of an advantage.
If I can play a really good round, I can catch Rory. If he plays well, we're all done.
I figure if I beat (Singh), there might be a small golden rainbow out there. And I did. You know, is he going to beat me eight out of 10 times? I think so. But in a one-day time, I have just as good a shot as anyone.
