few good greens last nice playing putting seeing
I've been putting very well all week, seeing the greens very well. I started playing better in the last few events. It was nice to have a good week.
great hands last played ten time trophy win
Ernie played very well and I got away with it at the end there. It's great to win this trophy again. The last time was ten years ago so it's great to get my hands on it again.
difficult last momentum time
It's all about momentum. The last time here, (the USA) got momentum on us very quickly. It's difficult to come back from that.
ahead days last lucky quickly stay win
It's just lucky for me the last two days that I have managed to get ahead very quickly and stay there and win by a big margin,
carry ended good last pity quite ran sort
It's a pity we ran out of daylight. But it's quite good now that it ended the way it did, because we can sort of carry on from last time. It was so close. This time, we can go at it again.
bit course five good holes last played playing purely running seen shape
I think the course is in as good of shape as I've seen it in the last five years. You know the fairways are running a little bit and some holes are actually playing shorter than it's played in the last five years, purely because you get some run in the fairways.
field great last played week win
Last week wasn't a great field but I played well and it would be great to win again,
holes last playing
Some of the holes are actually playing shorter than they did last year.
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.
few found game golf great last obviously
He's got a great golf swing. He's obviously found his game the last few years.
although felt good needed six time weeks
It was unfortunate, but you need to take some time out now and then. It put me back probably six weeks or so. I didn't play golf, but it was a good rest. I felt like I needed it, although it wasn't something I planned.
chance nine stupid three
It was an up and down day, especially on the back nine with three birdies and three bogeys. They were stupid bogeys, to be honest. I feel disappointed right now, but I have another chance tomorrow.
bit good guide phil shaky
I started a little bit shaky but I had Phil to guide me around here. We made some good putts and it went really well.
great putting
I've been putting well all week, ... It was a great match. I just putted better than he did.
