I don't know. I just closed my eyes and hit it and it went in.
We were trying to push each other on.
Other than those few holes, I had a lot of birdie chances. To be five under, blow four strokes, then get five strokes back is a pretty good way to end the day.
I was very mediocre. I put Tiger in some rough spots. My problems come out in alternate shot when you're playing with the best player in the world. I was outclassed by three guys.
I was very mediocre. I put Tiger in some rough spots. Even if I had played well, I just don't think we could beat them today.
I watched a great player win his second Masters. He hit the ball solid, where he was looking and it was an easy, easy 69.
I watched a great player win his second Masters, and I felt like at least from tee to green, I was close, if not maybe a little better (Sunday). But you cannot miss putts and try and win tournaments, whether it's the Atlanta Classic or the Masters.

I want to use these words correctly ... that the PGA Tour has kind of devoured some of the other tours, ... I always have gone down to Australia, and there's just no time to go. As Tiger said, it would totally help that.
I was just finishing on the 18th hole and he birdied No. 9 and 10. The roars, it was the most unbelievable thing I've ever heard.
I thought if I could play with him and handle him, several guys would be excited about that. And then the putt on the 18th was thrilling. Career-wise, it doesn't mean anything. Team-wise, it was awesome.
My putting was horrible but it wouldn't have mattered anyway. I might have finished second to Phil, that's all.
The 14th was just really a killer. But at the same time, it just leads up to that. There's several other putts that I just couldn't get to go, but it was a lot of fun and great pairing with Phil.

The 14th hole was the real killer. But there were a lot of putts out there that I could have made and should have made that would have put more pressure on Phil, especially on the front nine.
