birdie came conditions drive good hit skins wind
It came down to 18 and I didn't think with the wind and those conditions that I could get home, but I hit a really good drive and a really good three-wood to get it up there. I didn't think birdie would win it, but you just never know in the Skins Game.
good grand hoping win
I was hoping he'd win because I would've been part of history, part of the Grand Slam, and he's a good friend,
beat cup hate mean people reading win
We want to win for each other. I hate reading that we're not a team. Just because we got beat at Ryder Cup doesn't mean we're not a team. But people read into it.
remembered skins skirt winning
Sometimes I think I'm better remembered for the Skins skirt than for winning the Players.
bigger events guy home larry local unless winning
Being a local guy and this big a tournament, I think it's pretty neat. The only tournaments that would be bigger than this one is the majors, and usually they're not home events for anybody. Unless you're winning Augusta, I guess. Larry Mize winning there (in 1987) had to be pretty special.
air attitude highlight infectious remember walked window
It was a smoking-hot day, and they had one window air conditioner that couldn't keep up, ... At the time, he was still on his ventilator in his wheelchair. I remember introducing myself, and he had an infectious smile. He's such a good-looking kid. You go in there with the attitude that you're going to be the highlight of his day, and he was the highlight of my day. I walked out of there and said, 'I've got to do something for him.'
asked dream players shock shocked tv watched win
I'm still in shock that I got asked to be in this thing, ... I've always watched it on TV and was shocked to be part of it. It's something that I didn't even dream of, actually. First of all, I didn't dream that I'd win the Players Championship.

It is so much fun being part of those teams.

It has been bothering me. If it doesn't get better, I might even have to withdraw.
invited shock
I'm still in shock that I was invited to be in this thing,
cent course guys love per
I would think 99.9 per cent of the guys love this course because we don't play many like this. If you play well, you can score.
level life talent timing
You just never know where life is going to take you, you never know where your talent level is going to be and timing is everything.

Long story short, he lost his heart rate three times but he ended up surviving.
beat hate reading team
We just hate reading that we're not a team of togetherness, ... just because we get beat at the Ryder Cup.
