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. |
He's a great player, isn't he? I'm just going to have to shoot a good score. |
