It was great to see it go in. It was huge.
These two guys, they're going to win this thing several more times.
If Phil was putting for me, he'd have won at 9 or 10 under.
In my opinion, for Phil it was reckless abandon. I don't think he played crazy golf. But when your eye sees a shot and you hit it, it's a lot of fun. When you don't hit it, you've made a mistake. He may have lost a few tournaments by doing that, but he has won a few by doing it, too. It's just when you try to do it in a major, it can backfire pretty quickly.
I don't think so. I live and die with this tournament.
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.
Here, age is a huge factor. I've played a bunch. I feel like I can save a shot or two on the course if everything is going OK and you are into the round.
If I can play a really good round, I can catch Rory. If he plays well, we're all done.
I figure if I beat (Singh), there might be a small golden rainbow out there. And I did. You know, is he going to beat me eight out of 10 times? I think so. But in a one-day time, I have just as good a shot as anyone.
I figure if I beat him, there might be a small golden rainbow out there. And I did.
If I make that, I feel I may have made him work a little harder. I couldn't put any pressure on Phil.
