Right now, today, I would say it would be Phil.
You're on the International side, and you're helping me out?
Your shortcomings show in the alternate shot format and playing with the best player in the world it showed today. I couldn't help Tiger at all.

Really in all my years on Tour, in the U.S. Open I probably played great golf in two of them, out of maybe 20, so it's a lot of work.
I got the biggest break of my life. I don't know what would have happened if the ball went in the water.
I didn't want Vijay last night, ... I enjoy playing with him, so I chose to play with him if I could get it done. It was a great match, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. You know, is he going to beat me 8 of 10 times? I think so. But in a one-day time, I have just as good a shot as anyone.
I did play with Tiger in Australia and it was truly, truly a treat. I think I'm looking forward to that.

I did play a practice round with (Nicklaus) at the British Open and I played really, really well that day, which is useful to that point.
I didn't change my stroke, but I just hit the birdie putt way too hard.
My days aren't numbered, but they're close to it. But this is a course I'm very accustomed to. I've played this course for 25 years. If I can play really well, I think I can catch Rory. If he plays well, we're all done.
I bogey that hole, birdie the par 5 and shot 5 under. I love the course, and I figured no matter how bad I felt, I could get around and have a decent score.
I have just as good a chance as anybody. I feel pretty confident that I can go out and play well.
