It was an important week for me after St. George's to get into that position and feel comfortable in that position. I take a lot of confidence from that. I now know I can look the best players in the eye and take them on. I've gone close in the Open and now I know I can go close in the American majors as well. |
It was one of those days when golf seemed easy and stress seemed far away. I've had six or seven months without practice, but the last month or so I've been able to start getting my game back in shape. |
It was one of those days when golf seemed easy. I hit a lot of good shots and stress seemed far away. |
It's a long list, but it's a good list to be on. |
It's nice to come to venues where you have done well and I come here with a lot of confidence from those two weeks in America. |
It's not a great slot, but what can you do? It's difficult at this time of year with so much going on, |
Let's put a lid on it. My results this year have shown I'm way beyond it. I've left those things behind me. |
That was an impressive front nine, wasn't it? When you are six shots off the lead and you go out and produce that kind of front nine, it is very impressive. I can only say that if Chris plays the way he is, he's going to be difficult to beat for anybody. Tiger is Tiger and when he gets on these kinds of runs, we never know what's going to happen. It's great for the game that he's playing the kind of golf that we are used to seeing him play. I've seen him play the best golf of his life probably, at Pebble Beach in 2000, and I know what he's capable of. |
That was the worst day in my golfing life. I tried to keep it together but it just didn't work out. |
The biggest difference this year is no Ernie Els. That has leveled the playing field a bit and it is much more open. |
There's a guy that won this golf tournament, and he led from day one. When you lead from day one and you stand with the trophy in hand on Sunday, you certainly deserve to win. |
They miss out by not seeing the world, for their own good. I can understand why they don't. They've got it very good here, and they get a lot of things delivered to them. ... But you learn that the world is a better place than we make it out to be. There's a lot of really good people, genuine people. You don't understand that until you go to all corners of the world. |
This 63 is not about records. It's about championships. And that's all it means to me, that I got myself into position where I can play from here. And I'm going to try my hardest tomorrow again, and then we'll see. |

We all saw how important Tiger was for the game on Friday, |
