In a tournament like this, I don't know if there are that many young guys here. Here, the age is a huge factor. I just feel like I can save a shot or two on the course if everything's going well.
I'm beating myself up, but it just really came down to one minor, minor casualty and that was on 14. I mean, I can live and die with three-putting and some of the other stuff. But that really is a putt where it would have been a heck of a lot more fun to make and see what would have happened.
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.
If Phil was putting for me, he'd have won at 9 or 10 under.
I held us back, ... basically said, 'Just hit it and we'll go find it. I'll carry us.'
If you shoot 1 under on the back nine, you might run away with it.
I don't think so. I live and die with this tournament.
I don't think it has affected anyone's mood. We're a point down. The good thing is there are so many matches. When you get momentum, you can turn it around pretty quickly.
I don't really think there's any extra pressure playing with Tiger. I mean, there is, in any event, but I think the fun takes over and he's a great competitor.
I don't play great golf a lot. I do it every now and then like in the British Open last year when I finished third so I know I can do it ... It's just a matter of going out there and doing it again.
I don't know. I just closed my eyes and hit it and it went in.
He's a much better player than he was five years ago.
He's a much better player now than he was a few years ago. Much better.
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.
