I've learned a lot. But it's not like I could just cram that into a year and have it all down. It's taken me years of seeing what's worked well and what hasn't.

They were as firm as I've seen all year. They watered the slopes in front of the green and I would try to hit the slopes and the ball would stop instead of releasing. I have to learn how the greens are reacting better.

The thing I'm most regretful about Jack not playing and Arnold not playing is that they used to be the guys that we would call first for a practice round. Those would be the guys that we would look to so we could see how to conduct ourselves and how to act like a professional and treat people right.

Before I even won Augusta, I had never really doubted that I would eventually do it. And having not won a major or come close this year, I didn't doubt the fact that it would happen again. I just didn't know when. I'm very fortunate and very pleased and excited that it was this week.

If you're looking for me to shed a tear, it's not going to happen. We all know on Sunday, his name will be up there.

If you're looking for me to shed a tear, it's not going to happen. But I know ... that come Sunday his name will find its way up on top somewhere. Fortunately, a lot of other guys got off to a good start.
