Overall, that's as good a round of golf as it was yesterday. It was more of a battle today. I didn't get off to the flying start I did yesterday, so it was tougher, very much tougher. I'm as glad with that round today as I was yesterday, so I'm still in contention. |
Sergio had a great finish. We'll go for it tomorrow. To score under par again was a very good effort. This isn't easy. |
Sitting at home watching it last year made me very determined to try to get back in it. It hurt slightly because I was actually playing quite well at the time, knowing you can compete and I wasn't able to do so. |
So it`s nice to go to San Francisco in the knowledge that I am still capable. |
That last hole was crucial, ... We could have been no worse placed than 3-2 down, but now it's 4-1. |
That was a good bogey. When I saw the lie in the bunker with a big tree in the way, I was looking at a double. I was lucky. |
That's a card-wrecker, that one. |
That's good. It's more world ranking points, ... That's my best putting tournament in America for about ten years. |
The back nine is more tricky, but at the same time I feel you can score on the back nine as well, |
The field is bunched. I still say 4 or 5 under could win, |
The first hole was crucial. I was anxious, obviously. I felt anxiety which was understandable. But I got rid of that in the first three holes. |
The first thing is to get into the bloody things, but if I can I think I have as good a chance as I've had in the last 10 years, |
The greens were terrible, ... one of the reasons I putted badly. |
The jet lag is kicking in now and I'm very tired. I just left [Scotland] too late, unfortunately. My first win in 19 months needed celebration. I need to see my children on Monday night, so I flew here Tuesday. |
The others became almost expected in the end. This one is very, very special. |
