bit create great history time win
I'd like to create a little bit of history - it would be a great way to end the year. I know I can do it. Every time I come down to Australia, I always feel I could win all three.
five good great greens morning nine perfect shoot time
I had a great time out there this morning because being first off, I had perfect greens for the first nine holes. Any time you shoot five under around this course, it's always a good round.
form game gear hopefully last obviously sixth year
It would be nice, that's why I'm here, to try and do it. Obviously last year I got my game into sixth gear and hopefully I can find the form that I had then for this week.
hit knew soon
As soon as I hit it I knew it was perfect.
hard next sign strings stuck towels
Towels are the worst. They're hard to sign and the strings get stuck on the pen. Then the next one you sign is smudged.
expecting miss
I wasn't expecting him to miss that putt. At least I made it interesting.
commit five forget hand scared six
I was too scared to commit to shots, especially those first five or six holes. Once I was 4 over after about six holes, I pretty much said, 'I've got to do something, I've got to forget about the hand and just go and play golf.

ball driving good hitting iron shots
I'm hitting the ball good. I'm driving the ball well, hitting a lot of good iron shots and I'm doing everything pretty consistent.
percent sign
We see them. I'd say 70 percent of the things we sign end up in someone's back pocket, but if you don't sign they'll have a go at you.
happy knew whine whining
It's the same for everyone, we all have to play it so why whine about it and why not just get on with it and play. I was happy to see everyone whining about it because I knew that they weren't going to win.
meant national
It's your national title, it's like a U.S. Open, that's the way it's meant to play,
both
We both battled. At least I made it interesting.
ball close fear green hitting left matter pulling pushing putting shots surrounded thinking water
What it is, is hitting shots without fear. We all have fear in us, fear of pulling it left in the water or pushing it right in the trees. But when you're confident, it doesn't matter if the whole green is surrounded by water because you are not thinking about that. All you are thinking is putting the ball as close as you can to the flag. That's confidence.
