hard hard-work work
It was a little hard work to be honest.
Don't get me wrong, it was a big day because it was Tiger.
cup hard leading merit order plus worked
I've worked so hard for this win. I'm now leading the 2006 order of merit ... plus I've got some Ryder Cup points, which we're all after, so I couldn't be happier.
affect anyone beat crowd five fun good great match par played shoot six struggle
I've never played with him actually but he is a great player. I'm just going to have to go out and shoot a good score. You can't look at it in match play terms, but if you get to five or six under par then anyone is going to struggle to beat you. I know the crowd will be with him but that's not going to affect me. It'll make it all the more fun if I win.
bit burden expectation nice
It would be nice to have a bit more burden of expectation on one of these tournaments,
strangely wrong
Strangely I'm not that disappointed. It was just one of those days, and I just didn't play very well. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong.
best dreamed player
As a kid, I never dreamed I'd be the 13th best player in the world but I have an inkling I can go even further,
enemy true value
An enemy makes a true friends value apparent.
easy enjoyable game moment quite
This game will never be too easy but it's quite enjoyable at the moment I will admit.
combining deceived metro public thinking
The public can be deceived into thinking that this is what they need. I'm for combining services, but I'm not for metro government.
buyers doubt leverage year
There is no doubt that buyers have more leverage than they did a year ago.
nervous sure
I was nervous all day, but I'm not so sure it was because of Tiger, strangely,
I was as gutted as I have ever been.
coming crowd hit hung kept perfect
I hit it perfect and it just kept coming back, ... The crowd cheered, and then booed, and it just hung there.
