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.
course cut four good knew par scores
I knew it was four days, there was no cut this week, and I knew the way the course was playing, the scores would come back a little bit. Anything around par was a good score.
eight expected par played seven win
Everyone expected us to win and they had nothing to lose. They played really well. We were seven or eight under par but still lost.
good great played score
It was great today. I feel I played better than a 68, but it is a good score and we'll take it.
few gone holes massive might win won
If I win the hole, to have gone from 3 down to 1 up in a few holes would have been massive psychologically. I might have won from there.
full obviously open playing winning
It's winning this tournament. I'm playing the U.S. Open champion. He's obviously full of confidence, but I'm there to win.
again against champion class final great greater open played playing second today underdog win
It's great to be in the final and will be even greater to win it, ... I don't want a second place. I feel I've played well again today against another world class player. I'll be the underdog again tomorrow, playing the U.S. Open champion so I'm going to have to play really well.

There's no manual in college which can help you. You have to learn from experience.

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

Maybe fate and destiny is on my side,
eight playing wants win
It's not just you playing well for one week, it's you playing well for 12 months. Everyone wants to win it and he's done it eight times, so that's pretty impressive.

It means a lot to me to reach the final,
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.
