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 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 don't know. I just closed my eyes and hit it and it went in.
In better ball? That's best ball? That's when you use his seven or eight birdies every round? That's pretty surprising. But again, I've watched a lot of it, and I think he's ready to change all that.
It was huge. I enjoy playing with him, so I chose to play with him if I could get it done.
It was great to see it go in. It was huge.
These two guys, they're going to win this thing several more times.
I'm going to play a lot next year. I'm definitely going to try to make that team. I knew I had to play well this week, and I played OK. ... The last three rounds I played pretty well.
I'm not going to not be disappointed if I don't play well. I expect myself to do well, but I'm not like, 'Oh, well.' I'm not in that category just yet.
I'm disappointed, but I like the way I played and it was a lot of fun.
I'm disappointed, but I like the way I played and I had a lot of fun. I'm certainly tired now, but I made it through 31 holes (Sunday) and hung in there for a long time.
I love it, I think it's just hard.
I'm one shot back. Those two birdies put me in a great spot.
In a tournament like this, I don't know if there are that many young guys here. Here, the age is a huge factor. I just feel like I can save a shot or two on the course if everything's going well.
