I putted very well in Dubai and just need to get my ball-striking going.
past playing tournament trying
Any tournament we enter, we're playing to win. You would never look past this week. This is a big tournament for all of us, and one we all would like to win. The things I'm working on, I'm trying to get better to play well here.
close hit iron nine par perfectly putt
I hit a nine iron perfectly to get close to the hole, then unfortunately hit the par putt a little too hard.
few green overall round
I holed a few putts like the one at the ninth. But overall the round was pretty much just down the fairway, on the green and two putts.
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.

I'm the US Open champion and I'm good enough to win this match.

I only hit four fairways today and only six yesterday and 10 out of 28 is not very good,

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,

He's such an inspiration to all of us. Very positive, great character to be around and learn from him.

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.

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.
