catch math next sure win won
It's going to take a while. Obviously, if I won the next 10 tournaments, I'm not sure if I would catch Tiger. I don't really know how the math works. I'd have to probably win the next 40 events.
rounds
It was one of those rounds where nothing was happening.
birdie holes knew obviously start
It's obviously not the start I wanted, but I knew there were a lot of birdie holes out there.
ability carry definitely desire determination eight focus obviously seems tiger
He's definitely on the right track. It seems like Tiger got his focus and determination back this year. Obviously he has another eight to go and he'll have to play great. But never say never with Tiger. I think he has the desire as well as the ability to carry him through.
donald finish golf good great knew luke nice played shot
I knew if I just played Luke Donald golf, it'd be good enough. It's nice to finish with a great shot like that.
helps knowing played
Knowing I have played well here before helps a lot.
bogey golf kept threaten today
Not much was going wrong. I didn't really threaten to make bogey today and kept it in play.
atmosphere brings crowd energy thrive
The atmosphere and the energy that he brings with him, with the crowd and stuff, I thrive off that.
bunker front green hitting iron playing small trying
If we're playing into the wind, that's a very small green to be hitting a mid-iron into. In some cases, I can see playing for the front bunker and trying to get up and down (for par) if I have to hit a long iron there.
adds awkward bad character designer drives few good hit holes maybe middle shots side stance
I think a few of the holes you hit good shots and you find yourself on side slopes, but maybe that's what the designer had in mind. On 9 and 10, you can hit good drives down the middle and have an awkward stance in the fairway; I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. It adds character to the hole, for sure.
fun game hardly lead obviously round second shared straight trouble
It was just one of those fun days. I hardly had any trouble at all. I've shared the lead after the second round for two straight weeks, so obviously the game is good.
anytime birdie finished great held job means proud today
I was pretty proud of the way I finished today and finished the job off. ... I held it together. Anytime you finish with a birdie like that and a great shot, it means a lot to a golfer.
absolutely great hard paul start
Paul got off to a great start and putted absolutely beautifully. It was always going to be hard to get back in the match.
close definitely felt game good judgment nicely played quite shot week yesterday
I definitely feel better about my game having shot 66 yesterday than if I shot 75 or 76. I felt like I played quite nicely during the whole week. It was very close to very good golf. That's why I like to play the week before a major, just to get judgment on how I'm playing.
