last putting saving trying
I think my putting has been saving me all week, last week, too. But I'm trying to get comfortable on my driving.
course golf putt save today tough
I just couldn't make a putt today to save my life. On a golf course like this, its so tough that anything can happen.
five played time
I put them in the cupboard. It's the first time I've done that - not played for five weeks.
dubai
I putted very well in Dubai and just need to get my ball-striking going.
afternoon deserved missed morning played tee
I played terrible. I think I was over-par this morning and much the same this afternoon so I deserved to lose. I just didn't make a putt, was wayward off the tee and missed a lot of fairways.
bit game michael missed played putt roll tee
I played terrible. I just didn't make a putt and was wayward off the tee and missed a lot of fairways. Michael got on a roll at the start, but if I had played a bit of a game out there it would have been nice.
good holes par run
I had a good run on 15, 16, 17 and 18. If you play those holes in par you have done well, so to play them in two under is good.
beat best guys hopefully matter nine sunday
Hopefully all nine of us are up there on Sunday going at each other. But it doesn't matter who you are. You know if you win, you beat the best guys in the world.
four hit six today yesterday
I only hit four fairways today and only six yesterday and 10 out of 28 is not very good,
feeling funny low shoot somebody stayed weather
I had a funny feeling somebody would shoot low around here ... if the weather stayed the way it was.
catch guys maybe tough win
If you can do well in them, and maybe win one, then it is going to be very tough for the other guys to catch up,
character great learn
He's such an inspiration to all of us. Very positive, great character to be around and learn from him.
golf great putt shots
I didn't play all that great or putt all that well but I am only two shots behind, which is nothing on this golf course.
eight european few played straight weather
We've played in sleet a few times on the European tour, but Europe is not this bad. We never have weather like this for eight straight weeks.
