MARANA, ARIZONA
Q. Kind of right off the bat on No. 11, you got down. And Lee obviously played well. Just talk a little about the match?
NICK WATNEY: Yeah, you know, it's definitely no surprise that he played well. He's a top‑‑ I don't know what exactly, but the top three players in the world. I think the real turning point for me was 7, 8 and 9. I had a putt to win 7 and I didn't make it. And then I lost 8 and 9 and 10. To lose those two holes, I was 4‑down after 10.
And he played really, really well. Really steady after that. I'm disappointed I didn't give him a better match. But still a lot of highs for me this week.
Q. You mentioned yesterday, the last two years after beating Lee, you may have had a bit of a letdown. Any of that today after beating Tiger?
NICK WATNEY: Well, I didn't play that poorly. I mean this is such a strange event because you can shoot even par and win and I think I was a couple under today, maybe. But obviously I got trounced. Hats off to him, he played great. I think he's going to be tough to beat from what I saw.
Q. There was one hole where he made you putt about a foot and a half putt. Was there a lot of that going on, a lot of gamesmanship out there? I saw you smile at him after you made it?
NICK WATNEY: Well, I mean, you know, you've got to make them in stroke play, too. I try not to take it personally. We were definitely very civil out there. He just beat me.
