WGC ACCENTURE MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIPFebruary 22, 2013Webb SimpsonMARANA, ARIZONA Q. What a beautiful birdie to end things. WEBB SIMPSON: Thanks. I've just got to thank my Lord because I've been sick all week, my family has been sick and I haven't gotten much rest, and just prayed for strength today and somehow made it through. Q. I know your putting has been good, your ball‑striking at times has been a little bit wayward, but you're making putts when they count. WEBB SIMPSON: I did, and Peter is such a great player. We went back and forth, it was almost like a boxing match, exchanging punches. But I had a feeling coming down the last couple holes, and we were able to hit some good shots coming in. Q. A tough match for you today. Only time you were ahead was the final hole. Tell us about that putt. WEBB SIMPSON: It was a good putt. I had a good read on it, and these greens are so pure it was rolling nice. It was a good match. Peter is such a great player, and we went back and forth all day, and I feel fortunate to come out on top. Q. How much do you enjoy this format? WEBB SIMPSON: I like it. You know, it's harder on the mind. It tests your patience a lot more than stroke play, but it's fun. You've got one opponent, and we only get to do it once or twice a year, so it's fun to get in that frame of mind. Your strategy can change in the middle of any hole. I think everybody enjoys it, and you never know what can happen in match play. Q. Gonzalo Fernandez‑Castano tomorrow; have you ever played with him, met him? WEBB SIMPSON: I've met him. Seems like a nice guy. I've never played with him, so we'll see.
