I was asked afterward, and I had two goals: I wanted to win the Masters at one point, and I wanted to be the best player in the world, those were my two lifelong goals.

I've always wanted to play here with him, and to get him on his last practice round is pretty cool, he texted me last night and I was pretty excited. And then Tiger joined us, and it was even better.

He was really helpful on the greens, he would say, 'This one is quicker than it looks,' or 'This one has a little more break.' Mostly he talked about speed.

I just came out of diapers a couple of years ago, let's see, I was 3, almost 4. So I don't know. Are kids still in diapers at 3 ?

I didn't like him still in the playoff, he was plugged up in the lip and we're counting him out. You can't count him out. He's just a competitor. Finds a way to get it done.

Just happened to be my day.

A crazy back nine.

It doesn't feel like I'm going for three in a row, but it's kind of cool to say that, that was a long time in between.

It's a cool atmosphere, it's unlike any other event. It's been a lot of fun the last couple of days. ... I came out here Friday because the weather has been rough in Dallas. It's been tough sitting on the couch watching these tournaments and not playing in them and watching my peers get out there and compete. I want to get back at it.

I think last week was a big boost of confidence, i'm very, very pleased with the year and how it came to a close.

This is the best that I've played in my life, and I got to say the same thing last week in a media tent in Australia.

I didn't think the round was out there but the putts just kept going in, it's the best round I've ever played, the best win I've ever had, it's pretty awesome.

Whenever the heat's on, my whole life, I've just kind of learned to focus a little more.

I've told myself I have a chance to make history, and that's my focus.

In greenside bunkers, the big thing is to adapt your stance to the shot. It's rare that you get a flat lie in the sand, so I make sure to align my body to the slope. Then I blast the ball out by splashing the sand underneath it.

Look at the putt from behind the hole. Everyday players almost never do this. They should! Your eyes will take in more information about the slope. Sometimes you'll find that your initial read was incorrect.

The game is getting younger and the game is getting better. It has to do with Tiger and Phil, largely, inspiring everybody and brought a lot more youth into the game of golf.

Ryder Cup, Presidents Cup, whatever it may be, is maybe the most fun couple weeks we have a year, but I love being able to control my own destiny. The work that I am able to put in ahead of time was either going to come out and I was going to be successful with it, or I was going to try and fail and learn how to succeed the next time.

Without the AJGA, it would be very difficult for the college coaches to find us. Every junior golfer around the country knows about the AJGA and knows that's the way to get to college. And the way to get beyond college.

My only focus after I start the putter away from the ball is keeping the back of my left wrist as fat as possible from start to finish. This is critical to keeping the putterhead and ball moving straight down the target line after impact. It's also how Rory Mcllroy squares his putterface, and obviously it works for him.
