WGC ACCENTURE MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP

February 25, 2005

Tiger Woods

CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA

Q. Would you identify putting as the key to this match?

TIGER WOODS: No doubt about that. I didn't make the putts.

Q. You were so much longer off the tee. I thought if anything, I would have thought with the course so long, that would be really intimidating.

TIGER WOODS: You just have to go ahead and plod along, and that's what Nick does. He's very consistent, very solid. He has an amazing short game. And I didn't make a lot of mistakes. The difference is that he made enough birdies to win the match.

Q. Were there times you felt like you had a chance to change the momentum?

TIGER WOODS: I thought if I could get to 18 somehow, I would have had the advantage on 18, but I just didn't quite get it done.

Q. Tee shot on 17, didn't knock it on the fairway?

TIGER WOODS: It wasn't too bad. I was in the first cut, so it wasn't too bad. He had a wonderful shot underneath the trees. It forced me to have to go for it, and I didn't hit a very good shot.

Q. How difficult was it getting down early in the match?

TIGER WOODS: With the greens not being so good it's hard. And I hit a lot of good putts that didn't go in, a lot of lip outs. That was certainly the difference in winning and losing a match. Nick made all the putts that he was in position to make and I didn't.

Q. Were the greens better today?

TIGER WOODS: I hit good putts and you could see them bounce a little bit. You've got to hit and hope. I hit good putts where I was looking.

The one poor putt I hit was on the second par 3, I hit it too hard and it lipped out. All in all, I thought I hit really good putts, but nothing went in.

Q. (Inaudible.)

TIGER WOODS: Well, when you play 18 holes it's a lot like a sprint and anything can happen on 18 holes. We certainly have seen that over the years.
