I had so much control of my ball from tee to green. That's the best I've hit it from tee to green. But I absolutely lost it at the greens. I'm probably going to snap this putter into about eight pieces. |
I had to go for it and try to go for a birdie or, best part, eagle, ... Then he puts the ball on the green on 17 and it was over. |
I had to hit it anywhere inside the bleachers and I'm fine. It didn't matter as long as I could make bogey. |
I had to lay up and [the ball] went right into a divot. I'm talking a big old divot, and it was resting against the back. I had no play. |
I had to play a great shot out of the trees and give myself a putt, which I didn't do, ... I tried to hole the chip, and I didn't do that. I had to at least try to make a putt so I could eagle the last hole, and I didn't do that, either. |
I had to put the ball on the green (17) and try to make a putt. I had a shot. I had to draw it a little bit and it didn't draw at all. |
I had to take baby steps all year, |
I hadn't done anything on the PGA Tour ... and I got big contracts, |
I have already accomplished it. The only difference is it would be a different way of doing it. |
I have got to be in the present here and now and there is no point thinking about 2000, |
I have played here since I was 12 and really enjoy it. There is not too many golf courses you play where it just fits your eye, but this is one of the golf courses for me. I feel very comfortable here. |
I have played well all week and my goal today was to get to even-par. I think that would have been a very successful tournament and I am very pleased that I have done that. |
I have so much more confidence now in my driving ability than I ever have in my career. I pull out driver on every hole because I know I can put the ball in the fairway. I've never had that ability before. If you look at my days when I had some good years there, I was always hitting 2 irons off the tee and 3 woods and trying to get the ball in play. |
I haven't talked to (U.S. team captain) Jack Nicklaus about who I might be paired with, |
I heard, 'Nice putts' a couple of times. |
