I don't think it has affected anyone's mood. We're a point down. The good thing is there are so many matches. When you get momentum, you can turn it around pretty quickly.
I don't really think there's any extra pressure playing with Tiger. I mean, there is, in any event, but I think the fun takes over and he's a great competitor.
I don't play great golf a lot. I do it every now and then like in the British Open last year when I finished third so I know I can do it ... It's just a matter of going out there and doing it again.
I don't know. I just closed my eyes and hit it and it went in.
He's a much better player than he was five years ago.
He's a much better player now than he was a few years ago. Much better.
He's a much better player. I don't see that slowing down, and I don't see why he can't continue to win.
He's a much better player. He hits the ball much better. He gets it around the golf course. He works hard and he's got a great short game.
He's an incredible player. He's got more talent than maybe anyone out here in his hands and his game. Phil can overpower a golf course like Tiger can. He drove it really, really well today.
We need a little more fun and that comes with winning.
I didn't hit the ball like I was 46. But I putted like I was 66.
I caddied for a guy who was a very good player, and he gave me a set of clubs, just a starter set: 5-iron, 7-iron, 9-iron, putter and driver. I just loved it. How I developed my swing was to just grab a club and start banging balls.
You know, I’m not a PGA of America guy.
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.
