I was happy. To be honest, I thought I was only 1-up coming to the last hole, not 2-up, so I figured I had to make at worst a par and at the absolute worst a bogey and I was fortunate enough to do that.

I did a lot of work over the winter and I fixed a few things. I'm hitting the ball a lot farther and a lot straighter.

We're friends, and we're both relaxed. He's a good player and a good competitor.

I struck the ball a lot better today, I knew where every shot was going. He and I play a lot in the summer and we're really good friends. It's always really good playing him ... he's an awesome player and this is our biggest match of the year.

I thought, for the most part, we handled the pressure well. There were just a few times when we got rattled and, unfortunately, they (the Wildcats) converted.

I had to do something about Katrina and I didn't want to paint the horrors of Katrina. And I thought, America is pouring their heart out for Katrina, so I created a heart.
