I was very mediocre. I put Tiger in some rough spots. My problems come out in alternate shot when you're playing with the best player in the world. I was outclassed by three guys.
I was very mediocre. I put Tiger in some rough spots. Even if I had played well, I just don't think we could beat them today.
We were telling each other, 'Let's make some birdies.
We thought it was the greatest thing ever. He was not going to hit in this rain. I bet we waited seven or eight minutes, and he just stood there. Then they blew the siren, he marked his ball and we went inside. They washed out the round and the next day we re-paired in threes. I either didn't get him, or I had someone else with us so I wasn't as nervous about getting in his way.
We got in the first fairway -- he'd driven it down the middle, I was in the right side in the rough, just past him -- and it started to rain, then it started to pour,
I'm not very good in the rain. I don't wear a golf glove.
Tough day, long day. Teed off at 7 p.m. (6:45, actually). I don't think I've ever done that before.

Tomorrow is a day where I'm not going to be disappointed if I don't play well. I expect to do well but I don't play great golf a lot and that's being in positions like this.
Yeah. Do you have some? Oh, I get it. There's a Home Depot down the street, right?
We were trying to push each other on.
If it stays windy, 2 or 3 under might not win.
If Tiger Woods hits four really good drives, or Vijay (Singh) or Davis (Love III) or Ernie Els, I don't know a course they don't have an advantage on. So you have to keep it in play.
His swing is getting tighter, getting better, and he's getting back to a point that he's dominant, which he's been this year.
