WGC ACCENTURE MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP


February 24, 2012


Nick Watney


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.
