The days of Larry Mize and Ben Crenshaw winning this thing are over.

The jury is still out. Is the public going to embrace an earlier finish to the year? It's a wait-and-see type deal.

I think my day started at 2 a.m. when I heard the wind blowing, along with everybody else. All of my years coming here, I never really felt wind like that at night. So I knew it was going to be a tough day. It's all crosswinds. There are very few holes straight into the wind or downwind.

It's difficult to win anytime, anywhere on tour now, let alone a crazy, wild format like this that's a lot of fun to be involved in, ... We are going with the same type of strategy that we have the past couple of years and see what happens.

Other days, making one or two birdies seems like it's going to be impossible.

This is just kind of one of those days that that because you're playing so well, it just seems easy and you kind of wonder to yourself why in the world you can't do that more often because it seems so easy,
