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.
finish funny happy turned
I was happy to finish strong. I didn't play well Thursday, so it's funny how things turned for me today.
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.
course tough
It was tough today, the course is really difficult.
percent
These fairways are at least 50 percent narrower that anything you would see in the States.
bit couple holes hopefully last morning post tomorrow wind
The wind made the last couple of holes pretty tough. If there is no wind when I play tomorrow morning hopefully I can post a bit of a score.
next
I would like to come back next year.
home maybe sunday tiger won
Tiger has won 10 majors, so maybe he can go home on a Sunday night.
bit conditions golf growing happy learn wind
Growing up in Ireland, you learn how to play the wind. Or if you don't, you don't play golf, one or the other. Yeah, I like the conditions here. I'm very comfortable here. I'd be happy to see a bit of wind this week.
couple pleased somewhat
I am somewhat pleased but I now need a couple of those at the weekend.
looked scoreboard total
But afterward, I looked at the scoreboard in total wonderment.
hard raise struggling win
I was struggling with my game. I've been struggling all week. I wasn't holing the putts. It's hard to win under those circumstances. It was hard. I wasn't able to raise my game.
