Last week wasn't a great field but I played well and it would be great to win again,

Some of the holes are actually playing shorter than they did last year.

I've been putting very well all week, seeing the greens very well. I started playing better in the last few events. It was nice to have a good week.

Ernie played very well and I got away with it at the end there. It's great to win this trophy again. The last time was ten years ago so it's great to get my hands on it again.

It's a pity we ran out of daylight. But it's quite good now that it ended the way it did, because we can sort of carry on from last time. It was so close. This time, we can go at it again.

bit course five good holes last played playing purely running seen shape
I think the course is in as good of shape as I've seen it in the last five years. You know the fairways are running a little bit and some holes are actually playing shorter than it's played in the last five years, purely because you get some run in the fairways.
career golfing mental turned
I think what has turned my golfing career is my mental toughness,
course golf hands heard longer plays
I think any golf course they make longer plays into the hands of Tiger. I think he's just smiling. You haven't heard him complaining about that. The longer they can make it, the better for him.
drive front greens hit putting saw shoot six today
I saw the greens very well today and I read the greens very well, especially on the front nine. That was the key, putting well. I didn't drive too well. I only hit six fairways out of 14, so I did well to shoot 64.
ahead crowd double expect heard miss phil saw
I saw him miss the return, and I heard someone in the crowd say, 'You're two ahead now, ... I didn't really expect Phil to make double on 17.
