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.
The last day, I hit 3-wood into No. 1.
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.
It was an easy, easy 69 until the last hole.
I don't play great golf a lot. I do it every now and then like in the British Open last year when I finished third so I know I can do it ... It's just a matter of going out there and doing it again.
Last week, what he did was incredible. Then coming in here to shoot the scores that he did, extremely consistent on a very tough course. He's a much better player than he was when he first started winning these majors.
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 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.
