I've been training with him a couple of times. I've been playing on the tour 10 years, and this is the most pleasure I've gotten out of workouts. You see the results. You're running, and a few days later you're faster. You're lifting, and a few days later you're stronger.

The fact he's doing it is inspiring to me. I look at him and think, hey, I'm only 32.

It's funny. Patrick Rafter won two titles at the U.S. Open, but for the longest time he had only two or three titles. I guess it's just not easy winning out here. I won just once, 22 years ago.

It's crazy. I kind of felt bad having it. It's a strange situation. On Friday, I heard that Andy would play in the qualifying tournament. If somebody had approached me (about withdrawing), I would have given it consideration, but at the same time I've been working so hard and I was excited about playing.
