VOLVO WORLD MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIPOctober 29, 2009Robert AllenbyCASARES, SPAIN Q. You were down early on and came back to take the lead. How pleased to get it done overall? ROBERT ALLENBY: Very pleased. I think any win is a good win. Yeah, I struggled early just with the greens, just with the speed. I couldn't believe how fast they were. I mean, they had to be running at least 12 or 13 this morning and picking up speed downhill, that's for sure. And then I started just sort of trying to find the right speed, and made a couple of nice putts for birdie and stuff and got a few back. Once I got up -- we both made a few mistakes, but it's going to happen around this golf course. I mean, there's some holes where you can take advantage of it and there are some holes where you're going to make mistakes, and you know that. So it's just a matter of trying to stay patient. I wish I had made that putt on 16 to finish him off, but you don't want to hit it too far past and just get the right speed and I just picked the wrong line for the speed. But got it done in the end. Q. You've made five Presidents Cups, including the one recently, how valuable is that head-to-head experience when you come to a match-play tournament? ROBERT ALLENBY: You know, I was thinking about that the last couple of nights, and I think it's a good thing. Because I've just come off this format, only two or three weeks ago, and you know, so I've still got that mind-set, really. Especially when you play five matches. So you know you've just got to be patient. You know anything can happen, especially towards the end. Yeah, even when I missed the putt on 16, I thought, well, I've just got to be patient. I know he's going to probably birdie 17 because he's got to go for it. Mind-set that I have is pretty much the same as what I had at The Presidents Cup. As long as it's not mind-set that I had on the Sunday, I'll be fine. Q. Higher-ranked players have lost all four of the morning matches; does that tell us how close the margins are between you? ROBERT ALLENBY: Yeah, you know what, anyone in this whole field can win, whether it's the guy that's the highest-ranked or the guy that's the lowest-ranked. You know, it just that type of format. It's not a stroke-play event; it's all about match play, and it's just a matter of trying to get job done, even when you have a bad hole, you've just got to try to pick it back up.
