I want to use these words correctly ... that the PGA Tour has kind of devoured some of the other tours, ... I always have gone down to Australia, and there's just no time to go. As Tiger said, it would totally help that.
I was just finishing on the 18th hole and he birdied No. 9 and 10. The roars, it was the most unbelievable thing I've ever heard.
My putting was horrible but it wouldn't have mattered anyway. I might have finished second to Phil, that's all.
I was very mediocre. I put Tiger in some rough spots. My problems come out in alternate shot when you're playing with the best player in the world. I was outclassed by three guys.
I was very mediocre. I put Tiger in some rough spots. Even if I had played well, I just don't think we could beat them today.
I saw a doctor and got some stuff, and today I didn't really hit many balls on the range. I kind of just screwed around. I love the course, and I figured no matter how bad I felt I could get around and have a decent score.
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.
Other than those few holes, I had a lot of birdie chances. To be five under, blow four strokes, then get five strokes back is a pretty good way to end the day.
I think I quieted down our talk there for about 10 minutes. I don't think he wanted to get near me.
I think it sets up for my game. When I come here I feel very good on the course.
I was driving it where I had 9-irons and wedges to a lot of holes. I think we all know what they've done to the course by lengthening it, and I think it helps me.
I felt like at least from tee to green, I was close if not maybe a little better today than these guys. But to win this thing, you've got to putt well. I wasn't horrible, but I was just mediocre. I just couldn't get one to go in the hole to get any momentum. That was disappointing. Otherwise, I liked the way I played.
I feel great. I haven't played 31 holes in a long time, but I'll go home and rest and start again like it's a new day.
I did get some of his strays. The way I play sometimes, I probably don't deserve two or three people out there.
