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.
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.
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.

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.
decent honda mind performed round seeing week win year
I had one round there to win (the Honda Classic) and a decent week at Westchester, but that's all. I haven't really performed at all this year. It has been an interesting year and one I wouldn't mind seeing the back of.
again good last nice problem win year
The only thing I can do as good as last year is win again this year. ... It's still a nice problem to have.
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.
winning years europe
I hadn't won in Europe for two years, although I won twice in America last year, but it's great to come back and win. You never want to go a year without a win. It's very special to win and I'm really happy the way I did it.
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.
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.
