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.
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.
I watched a great player win his second Masters.
My putting was horrible but it wouldn't have mattered anyway. I might have finished second to Phil, that's all.
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.
We were telling each other, 'Let's make some birdies.
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.
We got in the first fairway -- he'd driven it down the middle, I was in the right side in the rough, just past him -- and it started to rain, then it started to pour,
To hole that putt in front of everyone...I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, ... This is certainly exciting for me.
Everyone thinks they can play with everybody and they all get along great, but when you're on the course, you have to know the guy pretty well because you're not going to win every single time you play, and you have to be able to say the right things and have some fun with it.
But No. 4, I just felt like under the wrong circumstances, it's just going to be awfully hard. But everyone's got to do it. Stronger players can maybe hit a 3-iron up high and stop it. But with the utility clubs, those go just as high and soft. There will be a bit of club changing.
I'm not very good in the rain. I don't wear a golf glove.
I got the biggest break of my life. I don't know what would have happened if the ball went in the water.
