It's a humbling experience out there because you're trying so hard. But you know, some of these putts were just left in great spots and I just couldn't make any of them. When you get under the gun, you've got to be able to do it. I just left too many out there today. |
It's actually not a bad feeling. I had a wonderful time. I've had my fair share. |
It's hard to play here with a lead. Although, Chad is a great, great player. |
It's hard. It's very hard. |
It's hard. It's very, very hard. If we went and played Pinehurst next week, it would be a piece of cake after this. |
It's hard. It's what makes the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup so different, playing a format nobody would ever want to play unless somebody made you. |
It's just grueling for me, and it's not really an excuse. It's just my body tells me like right now I'm done. I could probably have played 10 more holes, but once I stop, my body just shuts down and it really starts to hurt and twist. Everything is just ready to feel like it's going to explode. |
It's perfect for you, the way you hit your 5-wood. |
It's playing longer and harder, the scores show that. The pins were tough, the greens were softer and the ball wasn't going that far. |
It's tough out there. I can't imagine it playing any easier. It's playing fast and hard. [Today] it will play difficult. |
Last week, what he did was incredible. Then coming in here to shoot the scores that he did, extremely consistent on a very tough course. He's a much better player than he was when he first started winning these majors. |
My days aren't numbered, but they're close to it. But this is a course I'm very accustomed to. I've played this course for 25 years. If I can play really well, I think I can catch Rory. If he plays well, we're all done. |
My putting was horrible but it wouldn't have mattered anyway. I might have finished second to Phil, that's all. |
Other than those few holes, I had a lot of birdie chances. To be five under, blow four strokes, then get five strokes back is a pretty good way to end the day. |
Right now, today, I would say it would be Phil. |
