All I did was listen to my body and you have to do that sometimes. |
And, take [Phil] Mickelson. I played with him in the first two days of the PGA. He'd be the first to admit he wasn't on his game. I was amazed at how well he scored with the way he hit the ball. I guess that's what it all comes down to. He was just red-hot with his putter. Give me one of those weeks. |
Asia has been great to me. I played a good round of golf this afternoon and there you go. I've got this big trophy over here, my first national championship too. |
Both keepers came up huge. Both keepers had some point-blank shots and stopped them. If it wasn't for the keepers, this game could have been 9-8, and I don't know who would have won. Overall, it was a great game. |
Certainly, I think for me to break through in a major is the next step. |
For a tour that tries to follow the sun, it seems we play under water a lot of the time. |
I am very happy with how I played today. But I had to shoot at least 64 to have a chance. |
I certainly play off that experience of winning out here. |
I didn't think I had a chance. When I got to about the 12th hole, the leaders were still at 13 and 14 (under par). The wind picked up in our face, and I knew if I could get a few more birdies they would have some tough holes coming in. |
I don't think I'd want gale-force winds, but if it was a bit of a breeze, maybe 10 [mph]. I think that would find the best golfer over the weekend. When it's blowing a gale, there's a lot of luck involved. If it was dead calm, then I don't know if I'm hitting it close enough to run away with the guys who make a lot of birdies. |
I expect myself to play well. I've never defended a title yet but it would be nice to do it this week, especially to give me my first win in Australia. |
I feel very comfortable playing this golf course. The shots here always seem to fit my eye. |
I really didn't play with any pressure like these guys in the lead. It was a much tougher day for them. |
I think all the players ... call it the fifth major. It's just a bigger event. It's a big deal to all of us. |
I think Davis was much in the same boat. When you just get in the worst spots, there's no forgiveness. |
