His swing his getting tighter, getting better, and he's getting back to a point that he's dominant, which he's been this year.
There aren't that many young guys that can get into this tournament, and when they do they are great players already. It's not like there's qualifying for this. You can go qualify for the U.S. Open at 22 years old, make it and play well and everyone is ranting and raving about it.
When he comes to these tournaments, it really does wear him down. You walk around and have your name yelled at for four to five hours a day, every day, it wears you down. Literally, screaming your name all day, you just get worn out.
Unless we get rain to soften it up, if it's windy then 2 or 3 under might not win.
Today it would be Phil because he just won on one of the hardest courses you can play. But Tiger's the one to beat every week. They're going to win this thing several more times, those two.
I have just as good a chance as anybody. I feel pretty confident that I can go out and play well.
I felt like at least from tee to green, I was close if not maybe a little better today than these guys. But to win this thing, you've got to putt well. I wasn't horrible, but I was just mediocre. I just couldn't get one to go in the hole to get any momentum. That was disappointing. Otherwise, I liked the way I played.
I got the biggest break of my life. I don't know what would have happened if the ball went in the water.
I didn't want Vijay last night, ... I enjoy playing with him, so I chose to play with him if I could get it done. It was a great match, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. You know, is he going to beat me 8 of 10 times? I think so. But in a one-day time, I have just as good a shot as anyone.
I did play with Tiger in Australia and it was truly, truly a treat. I think I'm looking forward to that.

I did play a practice round with (Nicklaus) at the British Open and I played really, really well that day, which is useful to that point.
I didn't change my stroke, but I just hit the birdie putt way too hard.
When I play well, I putt pretty well. A few of them were pretty easy putts. You can not miss putts and try to win tournaments.
