Without being in last week, I thought this week would be a really good opportunity to play a difficult golf course, and honestly, I have n’t had much success at The Players Championship, so being able to get some reps and continue trying to work hard on the game leading into The Players could really help next week, as well.

It was 75 percent you have to do The American world number two yourself ; and then 25 percent relying on my team, family, friends, and then mentors, messages I get from mentors, pretty much saying,' Hey, you've been in contention six out of the last eight majors, won a couple of them. Something like that, the wrong miss at the wrong time, is bound to happen at some point.' .

We are tired of hearing about changes that need to be made. We are tired of hearing about the past. And we're ready to believe in kind of a younger, more hungry team going forward, it's still a long ways until Hazeltine, but if we can continue what we've been doing over this past year in young American golf, we're going to go in and get in that team room and be pretty excited about who is next to us.

There's nobody that had more influence in my golf game than Tiger, he still has a lot of good years ahead of him in my mind, but now he's really sitting back and saying 'You know if it takes that long...' He's got it figured out -- obviously it's frustrating for him, but we haven't seen the end of him.

The biggest highlight of my week was yesterday, was our comeback with Dustin Johnson when we were 3-down at the turn and 2-down with -- really 1-down with a couple to go, that was a huge match, I think obviously for the team, because they were supposed to win that match. We instead, won that match, not only we tied, we won, but that flipped two points and ended up being a point difference.

I got frustrated. I missed two cuts in a row, had never done that, lost the number one ranking. I was watching Jason Day just dominate golf, i got to work, put my head down a little more than I did right after the PGA( Championship), knowing that we could still peak this week( at the Tour Championship) and that's what we did.
Found on Reuters 8 years ago
I think it would be a cool match-up if I was able to play Jason in a couple of weeks' time, i think it would be fun.

I'm very pleased with the way I played, i think the way that I played this week and especially today would have won the U.S. Open by more than just a shot. I didn't play as well there. It's just that's the kind of golf that was played by the field this week, it just took some special golf. Whoever comes out the champion, that's a hell of a major.

It kind of dampens it. You want the defending champion, much less the best player in the world at the event, you want all fields to be full strength no matter who it is. Losing the number one player in the world for a major championship would be tough.

So the combination of the two allowed me to keep my head down, not worry about anyone else in the field except myself and to play a golf course that is my favorite course in the world.

That just took some guts, and having been in this scenario, or having been in contention enough, having been on tour for a few years, I felt comfortable enough playing that full flop. If you caught me a year-and-a-half ago, I probably never would have played that shot in that scenario.
