I think that was the shot that broke them. They were trying to take it [the momentum] from us, but he really came through. |
I think what I'm probably more pleased about than 12 birdies is the fact I've kept a bogey off my card. |
I try to make a point of saying to myself, 'Well listen, it's out of the way. Now you don't have to worry about not making a bogey now. I got off to a slow start and felt sort of mentally I had to grind my way and fight my way back into it. |
I was just trying to get my teammates involved. We had a great defensive effort. That was a team when right there. |
I was never in a situation where I couldn't reach the green, so I felt that was what I did well today. I think I'm probably more pleased about the fact that I've kept a bogey off my card, than 12 birdies. |
I?ve had the lead and, obviously, I?ve won four times (on the European PGA Tour). It feels like I haven?t been there in a while and certainly to lead by 4 at the halfway stage is a little different. |
I?ve learned it?s a million miles from winning the tournament, and I think that has helped me. Obviously, there?s no point thinking about winning until Sunday. It can only get in your way until then. |
I?ve never had a legitimate chance to win here (in the United States), ... I?ve had a few top-fives, but I felt like I?ve never really had a grasp of the lead or a real chance to win. This is my first go at it, I feel, and, hey, I?m looking forward to it. |
I'm disappointed, but there were a lot of positives. My attitude was good. I never quit and didn't let go, always believed I could still pull it off. |
I'm going to join the European tour as of the end of the season. That'll make me eligible for the Ryder Cup, but then I'll obviously have to play fantastically well to force my way onto the team. I'll be a little behind the guys, but if you play well ... you can do it. |
I'm ready and I can't wait to win. But you can't let that desire to win take over and you can't get too emotional about it. You just have to play shot-for-shot and stay focused and hopefully that win just gets in your way instead of chasing it. |
I'm very happy. This is the first time I've had a chance to win this year and I'm enjoying it. We separated ourselves a little bit, but somebody always makes a run, so you have to expect that. |
I've learned this is a course you have to give a little bit of respect to. |
It got pretty hot, so the ball was going a long way. I managed to pull back, leave the driver in the bag and put it in play. |
It's getting a bit crowded, isn't it? |
