“Asia has been great to me. I played a good round of golf this afternoon and there you go. I've got this big trophy over here, my first national championship too.”
“The teams are named, and we're ready to go. It's going to be some good competition. I'd like to get my hands on the trophy and look forward to the Sunday night celebration. We did a pretty good job celebrating last time, and we didn't even win the thing.”
“I was pretty happy with a good week [in Singapore]. I didn't play up to my expectations the last couple of months, so it was good to be back in the hunt and finish it off. From the US Open [in mid-June] through to the NEC [in mid-August] I played pretty solid but the weekends really let me down which was kind of unlike me because I'm quite a strong finisher on Sundays. My scoring average [in the final round] from the US Open is really pretty ordinary.”
“You have to prepare hard for every game. All of the scores have been so close this year. There is some great competition out here, and that's a great thing.”
“The guy had an off week. It's his poorest finish in a major in about seven years and he still made the cut. He finished way down the field but that's how this game goes. So much is expected of the top players now that it's almost unfair pressure. He took some criticism because he travels so much but that's also part of the reason why Ernie Els is as good a player as he is.”
