My putting was horrible but it wouldn't have mattered anyway. I might have finished second to Phil, that's all.
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.
If it stays windy, 2 or 3 under might not win.
Unless we get rain to soften it up, if it's windy then 2 or 3 under might not win.
I figure if I beat (Singh), there might be a small golden rainbow out there. And I did. You know, is he going to beat me eight out of 10 times? I think so. But in a one-day time, I have just as good a shot as anyone.

If you shoot 1 under on the back nine, you might run away with it.
You won't hear any complaints from me. You have to play more defensively than you normally might here, but it is what it is and you just have to deal with it and play through it.
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.
