course tough
It was tough today, the course is really difficult.
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.
davis expecting hole last maybe mine prepared tough
It's actually not a tough way to lose. I was expecting Davis to get up-and-down on the last and I'd have to hole mine out to go to 19. I was prepared for that, but maybe not prepared for him holing out.
birdie happy last nice round tough
I am very happy with today's round and it was nice to birdie the last two holes, as it was a very tough day,
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.
main nine priority rest weeks
I've had nine weeks off with the main priority being rest.
broke double last left second
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.
fight
It was a day for a fight and I didn't have any fight in me.
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.
