I think it's set up for my game. It's set up for a lot of guys, but when I come here, I feel very good on the course. I feel like I'm a very good lag putter, and you have to do that here. My eye catches the slopes pretty well.
Annika surprised us all. That was icing on the cake.
It's a humbling experience out there because you're trying so hard. But I left some putts in great spots and just couldn't make them.
Last week, what he did was incredible. Then coming in here to shoot the scores that he did, extremely consistent on a very tough course. He's a much better player than he was when he first started winning these majors.
It would have been nice to have made that. It would have made up for a lot of things.
If I can play a really good round, I can catch Rory. If he plays well, we're all done.
I did get some of his strays. The way I play sometimes, I probably don't deserve two or three people out there.
He's a much better player than he was five years ago.
This course is set up for my game. I feel very good on this course. I'm a very good lag putter and you have to do that here. My eye catches the slopes pretty well. That just comes from doing it for (so many) years. ... Around the greens, even though I'm not an incredibly good putter, I feel pretty safe.
I figure if I beat him, there might be a small golden rainbow out there. And I did.
I figure if I beat (Singh), there might be a small golden rainbow out there. And I did. You know, is he going to beat me eight out of 10 times? I think so. But in a one-day time, I have just as good a shot as anyone.
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.
Fourteen made the difference for me. But really, the way Phil played, it wouldn't have made any difference.
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.
