We were trying to push each other on.
We've talked about playing with Tiger, which would be an ideal thing for me,
Other than those few holes, I had a lot of birdie chances. To be five under, blow four strokes, then get five strokes back is a pretty good way to end the day.
It's a humbling experience out there because you're trying so hard. But you know, some of these putts were just left in great spots and I just couldn't make any of them. When you get under the gun, you've got to be able to do it. I just left too many out there today.
I watched a great player win his second Masters, and I felt like at least from tee to green, I was close, if not maybe a little better (Sunday). But you cannot miss putts and try and win tournaments, whether it's the Atlanta Classic or the Masters.
These two guys, they're going to win this thing several more times.
I was just finishing on the 18th hole and he birdied No. 9 and 10. The roars, it was the most unbelievable thing I've ever heard.
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.
I think I quieted down our talk there for about 10 minutes. I don't think he wanted to get near me.
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.
