I am excited about tomorrow. I didn't hit my driver quite as well today, but I made no birdies and I'm in half a state of shock about that. That just never happens to me. I can usually scrape one or two in somewhere. The good news is I hit a lot of good putts. I just didn't read them right or my speed wasn't right or a combination of both. |
I am territorial, ... I won in Phoenix three times, the Honda twice [in Florida] and now in Vancouver twice, so seven of my 12 wins have come in three places. Why, I don't know. |
I can honestly say I never thought I would say that I actually win a tournament using my head. |
I can honestly say I never thought I would say that I actually win a tournament using my head. But honestly this weekend, I think I won this tournament playing smart golf, using course management and staying patient. I mean, somebody is going to have to find out when the last time somebody won a tournament making one birdie on the weekend. That may have never happened before in the history of golf, by the way. |
I could hit 100 bunker shots and not hit that one that close again, ... I jumped out of there, saw that it was a foot from the hole and [playing partner] Craig Barlow was clapping and I don't know how I did that. I walk around the corner and Jesper looks at me and says, 'How the hell did you do that?' It was unbelievable. I mean, I could go out there 'til dark and not hit one that close again. It was huge and just part of a whole week of good things, good saves that I made. |
I didn't even think about making that one. I haven't made any all weekend, why make that one? Thank God I could two-putt. |
I didn't even think about making that putt. I haven't made one all weekend anyway. |
I don't like to practice, I don't like to work out, ... There are a lot of things that I should be doing that I don't like to do. I was blessed with a God-given talent to play golf, is all I can say. |
I don't think anybody was expecting this kind of a battle the first week of the year. I certainly wasn't. I'm exhausted. |
I drove it phenomenal in the Pro-Am Wednesday. That gave me the enthusiasm coming into today's round because if you don't drive it well here, you're cooked. I think I hit 10 fairways today, but still drove it pretty good. |
I felt like it was a 36-hole day, |
I felt like it was a 36-hole day. Thank God we ran out of holes. I saved my best drive and my best iron for the last hole and knew I could two-putt from 6 feet. How embarrassing to lag from 6 feet. |
I haven't made one all weekend anyway. |
I honestly never thought I'd win again let alone a tournament this big. I'm just unbelievably happy. I still can't believe it. |
I left a couple of strokes out there ... that's why making birdie on 18 really felt good, kind of making up for that, |
