I thought I had a real chance at a low score after eagle-birdie, but I never did quite get it close enough after that.

I think the only negative today ? except that I didn't make all the birdies I wanted ? is that I let the field get closer.

I looked like Robin Hood going through the 18, ... an adventure in itself.

Overall game was good, but scoring aspect was less than stellar.

I haven't played very well this year. I haven't putted very well. If you don't putt very well you can't win.

For some reason, my game hasn't been very solid all year.

I started fast. I played well all the way around, except for the last three holes.
