The first day was a fluke. Today, I was finally sharp and made a lot of putts. I've been playing here 25 years, so I have a feel for the course.
These guys that win this thing, you've got to putt well. Today wasn't horrible, but it was just mediocre, and I couldn't get one to go in the hole and get any momentum.
This is my favorite course. If you hit the ball a long way, you have a bit of an advantage.
You won't hear any complaints from me. You have to play more defensively than you normally might here, but it is what it is and you just have to deal with it and play through it.
I think it sets up for my game. When I come here I feel very good on the course.
I was driving it where I had 9-irons and wedges to a lot of holes. I think we all know what they've done to the course by lengthening it, and I think it helps me.
I watched a great player win his second Masters. He hit the ball solid, where he was looking and it was an easy, easy 69.
I watched a great player win his second Masters, and I felt like at least from tee to green, I was close, if not maybe a little better (Sunday). But you cannot miss putts and try and win tournaments, whether it's the Atlanta Classic or the Masters.

I want to use these words correctly ... that the PGA Tour has kind of devoured some of the other tours, ... I always have gone down to Australia, and there's just no time to go. As Tiger said, it would totally help that.
I was just finishing on the 18th hole and he birdied No. 9 and 10. The roars, it was the most unbelievable thing I've ever heard.
For guys like myself and Brad, we?re not knocking on the door six or eight times a year, so when you see somebody like Brad punch through its nice to see.
It was a tough course today. When I teed off at 1:45, the wind had started to pick up fairly nicely. It was just tough.
It was an easy, easy 69 until the last hole.
