Q. What was the turning point in the match today?
KIRK TRIPLETT: It was definitely on No. 12. We both had shots to the green in two. Robert was much closer than I was. I hit it in the left bunker and hit a very poor bunker shot about 15 feet, and Robert was just off the green. It was a tough little shot he had, but he hit it in there about five feet. Made my putt and then he ripped his and that put me 2-up.
Then he hit it very close two holes later on the long par he missed while I was making a par.
Q. How far was that?
KIRK TRIPLETT: He hit it about six feet -- he had 210 uphill into the wind. I hit what I thought was a pretty good 5-wood in there 20 feet right of the hole, and I was quite happy with my shot and he stuffs it in there six feet.
