I was outclassed by three guys, and I couldn't help Tiger at all.
I think it sets up for my game. When I come here I feel very good on the course.
Being comfortable is the best thing about it. Everyone thinks they can play with everybody, and they all get along great. But when you're on the course, you have to know the guy pretty well because you're not going to win every single time you play, and you have to be able to say the right things and have some fun.
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.
He's a much better player. I don't see that slowing down, and I don't see why he can't continue to win.
He's a much better player now than he was a few years ago. Much better.
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 thought the ball was going in the hole; someone said that was an early call. My thought was, 'Well, I think it's the only putt I made all week so I knew it was going in when it was four feet from the hole.' It looked good. It would have been embarrassing if it had lipped out.
I'm one shot back. Those two birdies put me in a great spot.
I'm certainly tired now, but I made it through 31 holes and hung in there a long time. The 14th hole was really a killer.
It's actually not a bad feeling. I had a wonderful time. I've had my fair share.
I watched a great player win his second Masters.
The last day, I hit 3-wood into No. 1.
There were putts I could have made to separate myself from and get ahead of Phil. And any time you're ahead, it's a heck of a lot easier, but I never did that.
