WGC ACCENTURE MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIPFebruary 24, 2007Nick O'HernTUCSON, ARIZONA Q. Tough way to finish. NICK O'HERN: Yeah, it was. I hit two lovely shots into 17, and Henrik let me get 1-up going down 17. I was thinking, let's make 4 here and try and win the match because I knew he had a tough bunker shot. The ball just didn't come out how I wanted. One place I couldn't leave it was where I left it unfortunately. I hit a lovely second chip, hit a good putt, misread it. Then on the last hole Henrik made a great four, and I don't know, I had a four-footer and pulled it. Q. Was it difficult going out there and getting yourself up again after the emotions of yesterday? NICK O'HERN: Yeah, I mean, I'm absolutely knackered at the moment. It was pretty tiring. But if you're not up for this, you're not up for anything. I was ready to play 36 for two days for sure. But yeah, it's a pretty disappointing way to finish. The golf I played today, especially. I played lovely. I had a couple of mishaps in the middle there. It's one of those things where you take it on the chin and move on. Q. It was a four-footer that saved you yesterday and it cost you today. NICK O'HERN: It got me today and did me today, yeah. It's a funny game, this. I really don't know what to say, to be honest. It's just very disappointing at the moment. I felt I've played really good golf over yesterday and today. Q. Quite a few positives to take out of the week, though, obviously. You've had some big wins, and no bigger than yesterday. NICK O'HERN: Yeah, it's obviously nice to beat Tiger again. But yeah, it was a pretty frustrating way to finish, the way I played and where I was in 2 on 7. It was looking pretty nice, and I just thought, Let's let's make 4 here and hopefully it's game over. At worst I'll go 1-up down the last. To make 6 from where I was pretty much inexcusable. Q. And then also with Henrik in the cactus on the last, as well? You must have thought, I've got a good chance. NICK O'HERN: Well, no, I still expect him to make 4. I just figured where I was, I'd have to get up-and-down, keep it going. As it turned out, in match play you have to expect that, and I knew he'd hit a good shot and he did. All credit to him. I hit a lovely chip up there. Didn't quite release as much as I thought, and then the four-footer just kind of didn't start it on the right line. So be it. Q. Which side did it miss? NICK O'HERN: On the right, the right-hand side. It was kind of a firm -- it was a little left to right and I was trying to hit it firm and straight because I figured, Well, Henrik is making his. I just pulled it a touch. End of FastScripts |
