finish funny happy turned
I was happy to finish strong. I didn't play well Thursday, so it's funny how things turned for me today.
couple eventually finish hold less shots struggled worse
Eventually he didn't finish off the match, really, and then I got a couple of breaks. It was more or less up to Vijay. I just hold on in there and really I really struggled with my shots today, worse than yesterday. I don't know what it's going to be like tomorrow.
badly contention easier finish fun game gets jump life seven sudden tougher win
Life is a lot easier when you play badly and then all of a sudden you get in contention and win one. No one gets on your back. When you finish runner-up seven times, everyone is asking, 'Why aren't you winning?' It's much more fun when you jump into a win out of the blue. It's a much tougher game when you play consistently well.
convince couple easy finish good mind next reasons strong
I know I've been inconsistent this year. Obviously, there's many reasons for that. But if I finish strong the next couple of months, it will be easy for me in my own mind to convince myself that it was a good year.
consistency couple finish last months playing sort starting three until weeks
It's like starting off a new season. I'm playing until the end of the year. I've had a couple of (good) weeks this year, but my consistency hasn't been there, so I want to get out there and sort of finish off the last three months of the year, and finish strong.
golf performed quite stay strengths
It can be quite a frustrating golf course. One of my strengths is to stay patient, and that's probably why I have performed well here in the past.

I would like to come back next year.

The only thing I can do as good as last year is win again this year. ... It's still a nice problem to have.

Tiger has won 10 majors, so maybe he can go home on a Sunday night.
difficult enjoy quite
Working on the range, I like that. That's not something that's difficult for me to do. I quite enjoy that end of the practice.
looked scoreboard total
But afterward, I looked at the scoreboard in total wonderment.
buffer build happy hard hoped last round work
I had hoped to build a buffer going into the last round but that was not to be, ... There is still a lot of hard work ahead, but I'm still happy to be right in front.
decent honda mind performed round seeing week win year
I had one round there to win (the Honda Classic) and a decent week at Westchester, but that's all. I haven't really performed at all this year. It has been an interesting year and one I wouldn't mind seeing the back of.
bit conditions golf growing happy learn wind
Growing up in Ireland, you learn how to play the wind. Or if you don't, you don't play golf, one or the other. Yeah, I like the conditions here. I'm very comfortable here. I'd be happy to see a bit of wind this week.
