I have never surfed. Way too cold in England to grab surf in. It looks like a
cool thing to do. I live in the Bahamas right now. Unfortunately, the waves aren’t quite like
they are over here. That’s a pretty cool kind of little gift. It’s going to look fun somewhere in
the house.
JUSTIN ROSE: There’s a lot of cool things. Yeah, today’s been a good day. Obviously,
yeah, double digits, that sounds a whole lot better than nine. It’s been sort of an emotional
week, a different week. Obviously dedicated this one to my caddie Fooch, who’s sitting at
home and probably finding it much harder to sit at home than actually being out here and
probably harder than the heart surgery itself watching this weekend. This one’s for him.
I mean, 21 under par around Torrey Pines is great golf obviously, but you had to do it.
Adam Scott got right there and played some great golf coming down the stretch. It was a
tricky day today. A three-shot lead is never easy, and just the start was anything that could
go wrong did go wrong. So it felt like I had to work hard for this one today. I guess to win in
the position I am in the world rankings, too, kind of makes it — there’s a few little extra
special pieces that make this win a fun one.
The Augusta thing, I didn’t really feel down about it until I thought about it. Like I didn’t wake
up in the morning and go, “Oh.” I would go about my day and then something would trigger
a memory and I would go, “Oh.” I wasn’t holding it too close. It was obviously a
disappointing loss, but I quickly realized that I’ve had my breaks, I’ve had my luck, I’ve had
my tournaments that have gone my way, and that put it in perspective.
It was Sergio’s time, he rode his luck a little bit on the back nine. I’ve had situations where
that’s gone for me. Actually, Henrik Stenson pointed it out, I hit it on the green out of a bush
in Rio, snap-hooked one off the next hole, ran it through some other bushes onto the next
fairway. That was my week where I rode my luck, so that kind of put it in perspective and
made me let it go much better.
