WGC CADILLAC MATCH PLAYApril 30, 2015Jim FurykSAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA JIM FURYK: It was a little bit my fault, too. I made‑‑ he birdied 1 and 2, and I had my chances. I had an 8‑footer on 1. Burned the edge on 2. He was able to make a 6‑footer. I was in the driver's seat on 3 and he flipped it over. 50 yards from the pin, short right, kind of one of these. Got it up there six feet and I hit my bunker shot seven feet. Missed it, he makes. I hooked it up against the fence on 4, so I handed him a hole. We birdied 6. Gave me back at 7. We kind of flip flopped. I made too many mistakes where I had a chance to put some heat on him. I just made too many mistakes where ‑‑ the bogey at 8, I give up a hole. I think I bogeyed 9 too to give up a hole. So those two stung. 3 and 4 stung. You go to the back nine, I birdied ‑‑ I win 10, I birdie 11. I've got good birdie putts at 12 and 13. Great putt at 12, didn't go. 13, I started a little too far right. 14, I hung my drive and should have been able to get that ball up‑and‑down, didn't hit a good putt. 4‑down, come in here and I get caught in between clubs and try to beat the shit out of a 4‑iron and got trapped in behind me and hooked it. Put it in a place where that hole has got the thickest rough on the golf course. I had my chances. As bad as I played, I had my chances to get back in the match and put a lot of pressure on him. Every time I got close enough, I made too many mistakes. Q. Were you between 4 and 5? 5 and 6? JIM FURYK: Well, I'd love to tell you I was. It was a little too far for my 4‑iron and too short for my hybrid. It was like‑‑ making me feel bad, Alex. 216 into the wind. Q. You hit a 5, right? JIM FURYK: Hit a 4‑iron. Tried to hit it too hard. Q. Is there a point during this match where you said now I just have to‑‑ I know it's match play, it's not stroke play, now I just have to aim at pins and try to‑‑ JIM FURYK: No. I felt like if I could‑‑ my goal was to shoot 4‑ or 5‑under on the back. I kind of was on my way, to be honest with you. Like I said, I made too many mistakes. The bogey at 14 and 17. Made three birdies in there, and I missed some good birdie putts along the way. I played well enough to do it. I just didn't get the ball in the hole. Q. The next thing is obviously in the old format, you are going home. New format, I think the guy that you beat yesterday is actually winning against his competitor, so comes down to tomorrow. I don't personally understand what happens if you win and somebody else wins, if you are both 2 & 1 what happens. Do you understand? JIM FURYK: I believe if two guys are 2 & 1, the head‑to‑head is the tie breaker. In that case, let's say he wins tomorrow and I win tomorrow, he advances because we are both 2 & 1 and he wins the head‑to‑head. Let's say he were to lose tomorrow and I win then that would be him, as well. I would win the 2 & 1 battle. All depends on what happens behind us. I have to win tomorrow and I need help. Q. Do you look over your shoulder at all tomorrow? JIM FURYK: No. Just go play and see what happens. Got a tough match. Kaymer is a tough match. If he loses like I did, we'll both be kind of chomping at the bit to get out there.
