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 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 have just as good a chance as anybody. I feel pretty confident that I can go out and play well.
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.
I did get a few of his strays to come follow me. They were all out there in the rain waiting for him. I'm sure the air lifted out of that balloon quickly.
I did get a couple of his strays to follow me. They were screaming and yelling. I like the place, and the crowd has more to do with it than Ben Hogan winning here.
