beat chose eight enjoy enjoyed good great hits match thoroughly
First off, I didn't want Vijay, ... I chose to play with him because I enjoy him and the way he hits the ball. It was a great match all the way. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a great moment. Is he going to beat me eight of 10 times? I think so, but in a one-day try, I've got as good a shot.
great maybe open played work
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.
felt fun great green leads maybe player second several tee watched win
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. I watched a great player win his second Masters, and I felt at least from tee to green I was close, or if not, maybe a little better today.
beat chose enjoy enjoyed good great last minute playing shot thoroughly
I didn't want Vijay last night, ... I enjoy playing with him, so I chose to play with him if I could get it done. It was a great match, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. You know, is he going to beat me 8 of 10 times? I think so. But in a one-day time, I have just as good a shot as anyone.
ball bet blew eight either greatest hit marked nervous next round seven stood waited washed
We thought it was the greatest thing ever. He was not going to hit in this rain. I bet we waited seven or eight minutes, and he just stood there. Then they blew the siren, he marked his ball and we went inside. They washed out the round and the next day we re-paired in threes. I either didn't get him, or I had someone else with us so I wasn't as nervous about getting in his way.
experience great humbling left spots trying
It's a humbling experience out there because you're trying so hard. But you know, some of these putts were just left in great spots and I just couldn't make any of them. When you get under the gun, you've got to be able to do it. I just left too many out there today.

It's a humbling experience out there because you're trying so hard. But I left some putts in great spots and just couldn't make them.
beat enjoy figured golden great lull might playing rainbow small win
It was a great match, ... because I like him. . . . I enjoy playing with him. You want to win because he's such a great player. I just figured I could lull him to sleep. I figured if I beat him, there might be a small golden rainbow out there, and I did.
chad great hard
It's hard to play here with a lead. Although, Chad is a great, great player.
ball easy great green hit masters played player second tee watched win
It was a lot of fun. I watched a great player win his second Masters and from tee to green I thought I played well. He hit the ball really, really well. He hit the ball where he was looking. It was an easy 69.
expect golf great positions tomorrow
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.
alternate best came four great played players playing starting three trying
There were four great players starting out, ... Three of them played well, and I was mediocre. Some of the shortcomings with me came out in alternate shot, especially when you're playing with the best player in the world and trying your darnedest to do well.
ball easy great hit looking player second watched win
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.
atlanta cannot classic felt great maybe miss player second tee watched whether win
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.
