I was outclassed by three guys, and I couldn't help Tiger at all.
I was mediocre and I put Tiger in some tough spots. Certainly I enjoyed playing with Tiger and Retief and Adam but I just didn't play well. Your shortcomings show in the alternate shot format and playing with the best player in the world it showed today. I couldn't help Tiger at all.
It was not him today. It was me, ... Tiger has won about 100 tournaments in his career, and he never seems to get a partner who plays well enough to help him out. I certainly didn't.
You're on the International side, and you're helping me out?

Age is a factor. I just feel like I can save a shot or two on the course if everything is going OK and you're into the round. It seems like I've had really good finishes here and my length has been a key to that. But I still have to go out and hit the ball. It doesn't help me if I'm playing it from the shrubs.
I was driving it where I had 9-irons and wedges to a lot of holes. I think we all know what they've done to the course by lengthening it, and I think it helps me.
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.
It was the only putt I made all week and I knew it was going in four feet from the hole. It was thrilling, it was energetic and if I can use a fuzzy word, it was karma.
I should have just walked in. There is no way I felt like I was going to be able (to play). But I got it around and ended up making some putts and hitting a few good shots (for a 66). It was the biggest fluke of the year.
It would have been nice to have made that. It would have made up for a lot of things.
The way it looks, a winning score of two or three-under is not out of the question.
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.
