There aren't that many young guys that can get into this tournament, and when they do they are great players already. It's not like there's qualifying for this. You can go qualify for the U.S. Open at 22 years old, make it and play well and everyone is ranting and raving about it.
When he comes to these tournaments, it really does wear him down. You walk around and have your name yelled at for four to five hours a day, every day, it wears you down. Literally, screaming your name all day, you just get worn out.
Unless we get rain to soften it up, if it's windy then 2 or 3 under might not win.
We were trying to push each other on.
I was outclassed by three guys, and I couldn't help Tiger at all.
I was outclassed by the way they played vs. the way I played,
I was mediocre and I put Tiger in some tough spots. Certainly I enjoyed playing with Tiger and Retief and Adam but I just didn't play well. 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.
You just can't miss putts and win tournaments, whether it's the Atlanta Classic or the Masters.
When you see her hit a golf ball, nothing prepares you for it. It's just the scariest thing you have ever seen.
Tomorrow is a day where I'm not going to be disappointed if I don't play well. I expect to do well but I don't play great golf a lot and that's being in positions like this.
Yeah. Do you have some? Oh, I get it. There's a Home Depot down the street, right?
Tough day, long day. Teed off at 7 p.m. (6:45, actually). I don't think I've ever done that before.
It was the only putt I made all week and I knew it was going in four feet from the hole. It was thrilling, it was energetic and if I can use a fuzzy word, it was karma.
I don't think so. I live and die with this tournament.
