“I remember watching this (event) when I was a youngster and I wanted to be a part of the World Match Play. And finally, I am a finalist. It's always been one of my dreams to fulfil.”
“The consensus here is that ten hours on a plane is too far. You get cooks, cleaners, a great house, everything is free, you're playing for a million. Yet it's still not good enough for them. I'm totally bewildered.”
“It was a different kind of tension from what I felt at the U.S. Open over the last nine holes, ... Its one-on-one, you're playing against a man not the golf course. Paul was such a tough competitor. I knew if I just let up one second, he would be right in there.”
“Match play is such a fickle game, the format, because things can change very, very quickly with one hole, ... Paul played great. He hit a great approach on six and seven. Fortunately enough, I was able to stumble over the finishing line with a couple of wins on 16 and 17. I'm just very lucky to win this event.”
