came challenge golf possibly reason takes took tour win
This is why I came back. This is the only reason that I took this little challenge to come back and play the Tour ... to see if I had what it takes to contend, to see if I have what it takes to possibly win a golf tournament.
cup easy excited fairly presidents tiger top
I think Tiger would be more enthusiastic about the Ryder Cup (if he skipped the Presidents Cup), and not just Tiger, but all the top players. Biennially, it's fairly easy to get excited about playing.
course felt golf good hitting last nice played scores success week
Last week I started hitting some good shots. My scores didn't always show it, but I felt like I played well. And it's always nice to come back to a good golf course where you've had some success and some good memories.
bogey course today
To go around the course without a bogey today is really, really good.
captain certainly enthusiasm major next played player respect team whether won
Whether or not he'll be the next captain I don't know, but he'd certainly be my pick, ... He's played in Ryder Cups, won major championships. He has the enthusiasm and respect of the players. He's a team player 100 percent.

If the three at the top don't run off and hide, we'll have a chance.
coach defense fire good hard hitting next owned prevent shooting strange team total
I have always said if I owned a (football) team and my coach went into a prevent defense, I would fire him the next day. But when you have a seven-stroke lead, it's hard not to. I would not say I went into a total prevent defense because I was hitting some good shots, but I wasn't shooting at pins. It really is a strange mindset.
players says time top
There's going to come a time when one of the top players says 'I can't do that. I need a break,'

On top of all that, I'm a blessed man. I truly am.

If there is anything you ever need, just call. I'm a good listener.

Chuck and I have been working hard. It's been a long process to get my swing back to where it had a chance to stand up to some pressure. We both had to stay very, very patient.

I'm very excited about the opportunity to build on this win. This was a strong field this week.
