[That the win came only days after the Ryder Cup announcement was not a coincidence.] Being a captain's pick is a huge honor, and I was very flattered by that, ... but once the Ryder Cup race was over at the PGA, I felt as if there was a burden lifted and I was able to focus on what was at hand this week. |
A few people called in about something that happened out there in the waste area, |

Events like this are fun, it breaks up the monotony, ... It's a little more laid back. But it won't be without pressure. |
Fred knows how to play the game, how to keep it in play and he's got more game than he's given credit for. You always know what he brings to the table. He has great control. Like most guys out here, he's a very competitive individual. |
Going back over the last ten U.S. Opens I've played in, I think this course is probably the best because it leaves no room for error, ... You're not going to get away with anything on Pinehurst No. 2. You have to plan your shots well and execute them. |

He's very dependable and knows the golf courses. And he really knows my game. |
I am surprised he left. |
I had seven bottles of water, two sports drinks and zero trips to the bathroom. My new Nike shirt is dry. This is an amazing material. But I can wring out my hat. |
