To be honest, I was so occupied banging the ball around the ocean floor that I didn't see what he did. I lost the tournament by a couple and Kenny ... we tied for first.

To be in the final group and have a chance -- it's pressure, but it's a dream.

To finish at (5-under) is really disappointing. I was thinking I could get to 9- or 10-. Instead I made some bogeys and finished with a double on the last hole, which hurt.

Tomorrow is a toss up. The International side is a very strong 12 players. They're extremely tough and playing extremely good golf. The American team is playing some exceptional golf as well.
