[All that changed yesterday.] When I won in '99 I wasn't ready to be one of the best players in the world, ... The next 10 years of my life are going to be the best 10 years and now I'm looking forward to bigger and better things. |
A birdie at the 10th really settled the nerves. |
All in all it was a bit of a struggle. |
An enemy makes a true friends value apparent. |
Andrew played fantastically well and put the pressure on me. He wasn't going to let up. |
As a kid, I never dreamed I'd be the 13th best player in the world but I have an inkling I can go even further, |
As I showed in the Masters, if I play decent golf I am going to do well. |
But as soon as you start hitting it well, then you start expecting to score well. I am delighted to have played 26 holes so nicely today. |
Chaos surrounds him out there. I had to handle it for five minutes at the end today and I was frustrated. He probably deals with that every day. |
David and I are good friends, so it should be nice out there tomorrow. This is a strong field, so it would be a great win if I can get it - but any one of four or five players, if they get hot, still has a chance. |
Don't get me wrong, it was a big day because it was Tiger. |
Fortunately I was able to come out on top, |
Getting in the match play is fantastic, |
Going to 16, you always worry that he's going to do the miraculous shot and make a 2, and I guess there was a slight surprise that something good didn't happen for him. I was concerned that he was going to hit a 3-wood to about 15 feet, which would have made things difficult. |
He drove a terrible front nine and I just didn't take advantage of it. |
