couple eventually finish hold less shots struggled worse
Eventually he didn't finish off the match, really, and then I got a couple of breaks. It was more or less up to Vijay. I just hold on in there and really I really struggled with my shots today, worse than yesterday. I don't know what it's going to be like tomorrow.
badly contention easier finish fun game gets jump life seven sudden tougher win
Life is a lot easier when you play badly and then all of a sudden you get in contention and win one. No one gets on your back. When you finish runner-up seven times, everyone is asking, 'Why aren't you winning?' It's much more fun when you jump into a win out of the blue. It's a much tougher game when you play consistently well.
consistency couple finish last months playing sort starting three until weeks
It's like starting off a new season. I'm playing until the end of the year. I've had a couple of (good) weeks this year, but my consistency hasn't been there, so I want to get out there and sort of finish off the last three months of the year, and finish strong.
convince couple easy finish good mind next reasons strong
I know I've been inconsistent this year. Obviously, there's many reasons for that. But if I finish strong the next couple of months, it will be easy for me in my own mind to convince myself that it was a good year.

I was happy to finish strong. I didn't play well Thursday, so it's funny how things turned for me today.
bad good jumping playing playoffs sure winning
I'm sure they're jumping on Jim's back for not winning all those playoffs. But how good is he playing to get into them? Only that he's in so many playoffs does he have a bad record. The better you play, the more you're going to lose. Because you're going to be there more often.
ball pins running sweep tends
The ball tends to sweep into the pins at Augusta. Here, it's always running away from them. This is very tough.
blow damage easy holes keeping question shout within
On a windy day it is easy to blow yourself out. I'll take my round. No damage done. There are another 54 holes to play. It's just a question of keeping yourself within a shout on Sunday.
bit couple happy holes last maybe mistakes overall
I made a couple of mistakes on the last couple of holes but overall I was pretty happy with the way I played. If anything, maybe I was a little bit over-confident,
birdie chances couple few good holes last missed
I missed a couple of birdie chances on the last few holes which would have made it a good round. But it's not the end of the world.
great nobody phenomenal player
In 2000, he was a phenomenal player that nobody could touch. Now, he's still a great player, but he's probably not as untouchable as he was.

I've had nine weeks off with the main priority being rest.

It was a double break, that was the problem. It was right to left and I started it out there and at the last second it broke back.

It was a day for a fight and I didn't have any fight in me.
