Tiger Woods

He's a character on top of that. That is the future of the game of golf.

He's been the benchmark for every player that's ever played the game, at least in my generation.

You just cannot give away shots like that. I turned a great round into just another round. It was very frustrating.

Jim's putt first certainly helped in my read, ... I didn't really do much except for read putts and have the pom-poms out, just cheering him on all the way. Jim played unbelievable golf. He hit the ball beautifully.

I hope they learn some things that will help their golf game grow.

That's what is coming and I've always said this. Guys are going to get bigger, stronger, be more athletic. ... Even if you don't do anything with the golf ball or the clubs and keep everything where it's at, guys are still going to get longer. Guys are going to get bigger, stronger and more athletic over the next generations.

It's certainly not the golf course when I was pretty young playing it. It's unbelievable how much they've changed the golf course. It used to be basically a clover field out here. The greens are unbelievable, perfectly smooth. It's just hard to believe what they've done here.

It's not like I go out there and I hit the ball just unbelievable and putt unbelievable to shoot these scores, ... I'm just playing solid golf. This is the way I feel I can play every day.

I think it will be exciting for us as players with basically one big event every month, from beginning to end. The whole idea is to build excitement in the game of golf. By having more of a condensed season, I think that you'll see more of the top players playing against each other in the same fields, and I think that's ultimately what the fans want to see. We as competitors want to have that happen as well.

Finally I made three good strokes and it happened to me on the last three holes, 16 and 17 and 18.

You know with these greens being this smooth, good putts go in.

Im in contention, so its a good spot.

Well, I'm in contention, so it is a good spot, I guess.

Zero, absolutely zero. I'm here to try to get ready to win this tournament, and hopefully come out of this week positively so I'll be in good standing going into the U.S. Open.

He drove it so good it was a joke. He played solid. He should take a lot of positives from it. John should take a lot out of this week. He played well.

Two seconds in two weeks, they are good weeks, ... Second doesn't feel as good as first, that's for sure.

The driver's fine. It's the dude holding it. He's not very good.

If you're leading, you're playing pretty good.

I feel good at Augusta, too. St. Andrews is not bad, either.

He drives it great, hits his irons really well. When he gets that putter rolling, he can really put up some good numbers.

Just one of those weird days where I just didn't have it. I didn't feel very good over the ball, putts, chips, full shots, you name it.

I know Colin is here but I don't know how healthy he is after hurting his hand. He says he's OK but I've said I was healthy before too. The last thing you want to do is come into a tournament like this one where the rough is so high with a hand injury. Hopefully, it will hold up and he won't have any problems.

The Nelson was more disappointing because I bogeyed the last hole when I had the cut in hand.

Last year, I had a long way to go. I had a lot of different things I needed to fix to be ready for Augusta. This year, the list is a lot shorter, and the changes aren't as big. From that standpoint, I've got a head start.

Brad, hes obviously from Rhode Island so it was a great win for him last week.
