ball covers feet few grass ireland lost rough wet
It was only a few feet off the fairway but in the wet rough it buries. It weaves its way in and the grass covers it, ... I don't think I've ever lost a ball in Ireland before.

But no golfer ever likes finishing second and I'll be doing everything I possibly can to go one better this time.

But just getting into the final isn't something I'm interested in...it's winning it that I'm interested in. I'm going to go out there to win it.

I bogeyed the first on Friday but from there went 53 holes without a bogey. That's a bloody long time around this course.

bee
I have a bee in my bonnet about this,
advantage blow course difficult four good guys help lead level might par played scoring surprised wind
With me being four off the lead then of course I will need any advantage I can get, and if the wind does blow it might help me. The course played difficult and I am surprised how good the scoring is and how many guys are under par - I thought level par would be a good score.

We're in the room where Sam (Torrance) held all the team meetings in 2002, it's the first time I've been in here since then.
We are in a hole, ... We have a long way to come back from here.
chip few five missed seems six stone time
You know, it was a day for battling, and I really battled. I started out great, just striped it the first five or six holes, then missed a few fairways by a yard. It seems every time you miss by a yard, you're stone dead. Every time I was, it was a chip out. But I managed to get pars.
ahead event michael played stroke three today
I didn't play as well today as I had the first three days. If this was a stroke play event I'd have been well ahead because I played so well the first three days. But that's the way it goes. Michael played well today.

I played so well the first few days but Michael played well today. I couldn't get at him,

I played so well the first few days, but Michael played well today, ... I couldn't get at him. I caught him a few times, but I couldn't get 1- up on him. My game just wasn't quite good enough.
