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.
The 14th hole was really a killer, but there were several other putts -- I just couldn't get one to go. I think if Phil was putting for me, I would have won with 9- or 10-under.
The 14th hole was just really a killer. I couldn't get one to go in the hole and get any momentum.
The 14th hole was just really a killer.
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 feel great. I haven't played 31 holes in a long time, but I'll go home and rest and start again like it's a new day.
To hole that putt in front of everyone...I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, ... This is certainly exciting for me.
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'm certainly tired now, but I made it through 31 holes and hung in there a long time. The 14th hole was really a killer.
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.
These guys that win this thing, you've got to putt well. Today wasn't horrible, but it was just mediocre, and I couldn't get one to go in the hole and get any momentum.
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.
