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.
easiest event playing win
There's a lot of expectations with defending. Definitely, the easiest way to win an event is, without a doubt, to be playing well and to be under the radar.
against ahead balanced europe five major past players six team time tried whereas winners
The U.S. players are ahead of us in the world rankings, they have major winners which is a significant factor, ... We do have a more balanced team in Europe for the first time. I think in the past we have tried to play five or six players against 12 U.S. players, whereas this time around I think we are going to try and play 12 against 12 which is a new experience.

I played better today, but what's been going wrong with my game affected my short game today a bit as well.
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.
bit challenge players question
I don't think there's any question that there was a bit more challenge for the players who started late.
play littles today
Hopefully, I want to play a little better than I did 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.
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.

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.
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.

I would like to come back next year.

I was happy to finish strong. I didn't play well Thursday, so it's funny how things turned for me today.
