Well, this was really kind of out of the blue, ... I mean, Friday afternoon I was in my hotel room packing to go home because I thought even par would miss the cut. I actually bet Johnny Andrews in the scoring trailer $286.67 that I was going to miss, and I'll gladly pay him now.
-
But, really, I don't plumb-bob a lot because I don't think it reads enough break into the putt.
-
I thought if I came back early and played well, I would have a chance to make points early. That's still my goal.
-
We had hoped to get one or two of them. They all turned us down.
-
But you need to straddle the line, I think.
-
I was hopeful to be here. I was counting on my fingers what four months was, and my doctor told me that would be really pushing it.
-
I am disappointed to have to end my season, but my knee has been bothering me for the better part of the year. My ultimate goal is to play in the major championships next year and to qualify for the 2006 Ryder Cup, and by having surgery now I can strive to meet this goal. I look forward to the 2006 season.

My guess would be if a player makes it to the fourth round and it goes to Monday, no one's going to jump ship. That's payday.

He looks comfortable over putts and to me, he doesn't take as long to putt as he does full shots. His routine is consistent. He's got a simple-looking stroke, with nice pace and flow, a blend of mechanics and pace. But I always think guys who putt well are more fearless. They don't worry about the three-putt or the bad putt. They don't take that with them.

You can tell when he's out there the crowd buzz and everything, expectations.
-
It's soaking wet, and he hit it down the fairway at the bottom of the hill. And it backed up.
-
Most of the players have grown to like the course more and more. I think it helps that we don't change locations. The Players has grown in popularity because it stays in Jacksonville. The fact the Players Championship doesn't move around has helped people accept the golf course. If you want to be a good player, you'd better learn to like it.

Money is an important part. There's a little consolidation, and when you've got consolidation, somebody is going to get left out.
-
The first thing Dory did today was look up at me and say, We're going to Kapulua.
-
I don't understand it. I can't believe they turned us down.
-
When you're here, you want to be here the next year.
-
I don't think there can be a greater honor for any golfer, what they can do off the golf course.
-
The golf swing is among the most stressful and unnatural acts in sports, short of cheering for the Yankees.
-
Well, how cool is that? You're sitting here with two guys playing in a playoff, one guy has just stoned it. He's nervous. I know he's nervous -- he's never won a Tour event -- and he hits a shot and it hits the pin. The crowd went bananas. I mean, how could you not like that.
-
A lot of good scores came out of that dinner.
-
My track record after winning a tournament is abysmal, ... I'll be ready. I'll be nervous tomorrow. The win makes it great. But even if I didn't win, I think I would be just as juiced as I am right now.
-
I like that you have to shape shots. For instance, on the par-5 second, you absolutely have to hit a draw if you hit driver. A long hitter hitting it off line is not going to do very well at the Players Championship.
-
Thank God this tournament starts tomorrow, ... Finally slept more than three hours last night. But I enjoyed that. And I expect that this week.

It's always a special feeling playing in this event. I am a big fan of TPC Boston. The Deutsche Bank Championship is as good as it gets on the PGA Tour.
