ball cross david flat hard winds
Being out here in the flat and so exposed, they are going to get pretty firm. But like David (Duval) said, if you get some winds here, some cross winds, it's going to be very hard to put the ball in the fairway.
winning
I know you made the winning putt, ... but could you move?
chance either event team
I never look at this event as being favored or an underdog. I think either way, you've got to go out and play really well as a team to have a chance to win.

I'm very motivated to play the Presidents Cup. I think when I look at my schedule and all the tournaments I'm not going to play here in the next couple of months, it sets up pretty well as far as getting ready to play.

Tuesday night, I ended up getting sick. I wasn't even sure Wednesday if I was going to be able to play.

I've defended well at some tournaments in the past. I'd certainly like to get off to the same start that I did last year in playing well early in the year.

It would be a lot of fun to win here because of those near misses. Although they seem like quite a while ago, it would be special to win in front of this many fans.

A couple of the greens are a little severe I think, but everybody's going to have to get through those holes. The golf course should be more difficult than last year.

The third green is pretty severe for a 245-yard par 3. The right side of the green goes up and down. It looks like something I skied down a coupled of months ago.

I guarantee he feels about 6-foot-5 right now.
maybe memories pull sure tournament
Memories like that help. We all have something like that we can pull upon. Maybe not in a match-play situation, but in some kind of tournament where you did something that maybe you weren't sure you would be able to pull it off. That can become infectious.
combined couple course fun golf helped last perfect
It's fun and the golf course is in perfect shape. There are no excuses. I think all of these things combined have helped me to play well here the last couple of years.
