Q. Talk about your pairing, playing with Greg and Ernie, there seems to be some good chemistry there. Was that a plus for you?
DAVIS LOVE III: It's great to play with those guys, certainly Ernie is one of the top players of the game right now so it's always great to play with a great player but Ernie is a fun guy as well. Greg came out on Tour, chasing Greg Norman, so it's always a thrill. He's been a friend for a long time, so, it's a great pairing. They were close to playing very, very well too. They just had a couple of loose shots here or there or they would have both had good scores. As I said, they said in the scoring tent nobody else had three guys in the black so we all played pretty well.
Q. Davis Love thirteen years ago to the Davis Love today what could you do then now and couldn't do then and vice versa, how is your game different?
DAVIS LOVE III: My swing is mechanically better. My putting stroke mechanically is better and then on top of that my attitude is a lot better, my routine, certainly my patience is a lot better, whether I am playing good like I am now or whether I am not, I think I get a lot out of a round of golf. And I was really inconsistent back then. I had the raw skills but I didn't have the polish that I do now.
Q. You had a great start with three wins; then you had some personal tragedy. What's it been like for you, now you are playing good again?
DAVIS LOVE III: Well, you know, really the only tournament I am disappointed with is the U.S. Open, I overworked myself there which I said I wasn't going to do this year. I felt like I was close to playing good. I was playing good at Kemper and I worked a little bit too hard, and I think I pushed myself to where I couldn't play at the U.S. Open and that was one thing I said I wasn't going to do this year. So I think overall, I have done pretty much the same job every week. I have come out ready to play. If I didn't think I was going to play well, or if I didn't feel well, like at the Western Open, I just didn't play. I think my game plan this year is to be ready to play every tournament and I think I have done that pretty much every tournament except for the U.S. Open. Continue that hopefully into the next few years just trying to stay healthy and work hard.
Q. After you got to 16 there's a chance of setting there -- tying the record of 20 points or even surpassing it. Did you ever look at the board and see that maybe you can get to 20 or better?
DAVIS LOVE III: I didn't know what the record was so I was trying obviously trying to birdie every hole, and the wind was blowing in a little bit at 16 and my caddie I think really wanted me to hit a 5-iron and I wanted to try and kill a 6. I didn't quite catch it. It got up there almost pin-high. I was trying to hit it so hard that I pushed it a little bit, didn't quite catch it. And then Greg and Ernie of course hit 5, so I was trying to maybe force it just a little bit. I didn't look really -- I was trying to get as many as I could while it was going good.
Q. Did you think you could have scored 19 out here without an eagle or without an eagle putt?
DAVIS LOVE III: Usually you see a score like that you see two eagles thrown in there. I (inaudible) shot 60 before, but I think it was a bunch of eagles. I think it was probably the most birdies I had in a round.
JOAN vON THRON: Ten birdies is the record here in a round. Anymore questions? Thank you, Davis, for joining us.
