I was always able to defend a title on the PGA Tour and was disappointed not to be able to do so in Boston,
He's been threatening for a while. He's very aggressive -- when he gets it going like this week, there's no stopping him. We will hear a lot more from Chad Campbell. This is not the end of it.
Hopefully this is the last one. You don't really think about it until after and you say, 'Wow, I made three doubles.' That shows this golf course, it's so easy (to double) if you make one mistake.
I have not enjoyed it yet. No matter how hard I try, it might be almost an impossible thing to do again. You never know, we'll try again next year and see what happens.
I guess he's still called a Canadian, so it's no different than Mike Weir last year, anyway.
Chad is a very good front-runner. He?s not scared.
I'm not going to beg, ... I'm not the guy to ... get on my knees and say, 'Hey, write good things about me.' ... I have to worry about what I feel and not about what other people feel.
I'm not a fake like many guys out here.
The conditions are perfect. When it's warm, the ball does go farther and it makes the golf hole a lot shorter. That's why the first hole I hit driver, nine-iron and yesterday I hit a driver, five-iron. So that's the difference with the wind.
The long putts are difficult for me on the green, especially when the wind is blowing. I played decent. I didn't play great.
The key was hitting more fairways, and when you hit more fairways you get chances for birdies. You can't make birdies from the rough here.
I'm going to go out and play really hard. If I have another win, it will be icing on the cake. But I don't take anything for granted.
I have a lot of friends, in and out of golf, and there is a mutual trust. I'm very serious at the course. Maybe if I joked around more around the press tent, your image of me would be different. But that's not me. And the golf course is my office. If I come up to you when you're writing a story, are you going to drop everything to talk? Or are you going to say you're too busy doing your job?
I have this reputation of not wanting to talk to the media, which isn't true. What I don't like-what a lot of us don't understand-is how we can say one thing and it turns up in print as something else.
