Obviously it was a great round, I don't think it will be beaten for awhile,

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.
against beating close enjoy golf great match players playing record
I enjoy playing with Tiger. I've come close to beating him at the (World Golf) Match Play, but I don't think too many players have a great record against Tiger.

You always get more pleasure if you beat great players.
amongst media next point sure talking tv week
I'm sure it will be a talking point amongst the media and on TV next week but it's not something I even think of.
double knew playing
I knew he was playing well, ... But on 17 when he made double bogey, it went my way.
although knew mentally pull struggling
I knew what I had to do today. Although I was struggling with some shots, mentally I was able to pull it through.
keeping putting
I'm putting very well. I only had 25 putts. That's keeping me alive.
ball course dry nice running throw ton water yards
The ball is running 30 yards down the hill. They are probably going to go and throw a ton of water on the fairways to make it not run. But I think it would be nice to see the course dry for a change.
happiness jumps somebody
I'm not really somebody that jumps up and down, ... But on the inside, I was happy.
bit breeze chance course guys hopefully shoot six slightly win
I'm going to need to shoot six under to have a chance to win because there are a lot of guys up there but hopefully there will be a bit more breeze to make the course slightly more difficult.
flags lucky positions tricky
I'm going to have to get really lucky tomorrow, ... The flags are going to be in some tricky positions to get up-and-down from.
believes glad great win
I'm glad for Gary. He's such a great competitor, and he probably still believes he can win out here.
hard hard-work shot work
I'm grinding, that's for sure. Every shot is hard work at the moment.
