Q. Was there a point you took charge and felt in control?
MIKE WEIR: I think just got off to a really nice start. I chipped in on the first hole. Hit it just over the green on 2 and made a birdie there. Then I hit a long putt on 4. So I was 3-up early. I really had some momentum going early and just kind of carried it through.
Q. When you play match-play --?
MIKE WEIR: You have to pay attention to the other guy, but at the same time you've just got to really focus on your game. There's definitely a little strategy involved. I just played really well. I don't think Paul played poorly at all. I think he played well. I think all of the holes were won on birdies except for the last hole. So I think it was a pretty good match.
He made it from the bunker and then after birdieing 8, 9, holed a bunker shot on 10; so it was a big putt. You just never know. That was a big putt. There were a lot of big putts that he made out there. To really bear down, I had to -- he birdied 8, 9, but I had chances to birdie both of them, as well. I was inside, only about a 4-foot putt to birdie 8, as well and missed that putt. Had a good chance on 9, didn't make it. Then he holed out a bunker on 10. So I just really need to bear down and focus on my putting to not let it keep going in that direction.
