Absolutely. The greens are firm, and there's a lot of trees. You've got to be careful with your drives at this course. |
All of these aspects are very important for me to succeed this year, ... I've got a great formula going right now. |
Being seniors, we have to produce in these type of situations. We can't expect our freshmen to come through for us all the time. |
Every part of his game is very sound, very sharp. He's going to be tough to beat tomorrow. But I believe I've got the tools to beat him. |
Fortunately enough I managed to stumble over the finishing line, |
He just left the ball over the plate. I was just trying to get the ball up in the air for a sac fly. But he left it over the plate and I got a good piece of the barrel on it. |
He played great on the first nine holes. That's good golf and you can't control that, |
He said to me, 'Michael, from now on you have responsibilities to promote this game around the world.' And that's what I'm doing. I think it's important for guys to go around the world and promote this game. I want to share my success with people from different parts of the world. |
He's a world-class player and he showed that today. I was on the back foot with nine holes to play. He just played awesome. |
He's the yardstick of how good we can get. He does things with his golf stick that we cannot do, |
I came out this morning feeling strong. I quickly birdied three holes in a row. And I came out strong again this afternoon. I'm just going to go home and rest for tomorrow, |
I changed management groups. All of these aspects are very important for me to succed this year, ... I've got a great formula going right now. |
I feel for the sponsors (HSBC) because they put up a lot of money. This is the richest first prize in all of golf (one million pounds). |
I had it going quite nicely. And then the wheels came off. And the wheels came off very, very quickly. But you know, I'm going to stand on the tee tomorrow three shots ahead. |
I just tried to give us some confidence. |
