 Q
: Congratulations, Vijay, 2005 Wachovia Championship winner. It's been
a couple of fun weeks here on the PGA TOUR, down to the wire, and you
just added to it with that 66 coming in today. Why don't you just talk
about your emotions a little bit right now and then we'll go into
questions.
VIJAY SINGH: Obviously it was pretty exciting there at the end. You
know, Sergio made it a little easier for us by bogeying 17. You know,
even in the playoff, it was pretty tense. You can't miss a golf shot
out there because the golf course will not yield at all. It was tough
playing the finishing holes, but I played really solid today. I kept
my head and tried to post a score, and I thought 12-under was the
number when I started off, and I was right.
Q. Is winning getting old for you yet?
VIJAY SINGH: No, this is just like the first one I won (laughter).
Q. Talk about the crowd and the excitement and just the drama.
VIJAY SINGH: When we started off Thursday, the crowds were lined up,
maybe because of the grouping of players, I don't know who was in
front of us, but Tiger was in front of us, myself, Sergio and then I
think Phil was behind, so it was a lot of good players at one time.
The crowd just lined up from the getgo. It was a great feeling, like
playing a major event. Today was unbelievable. I don't know how many
crowd was up there, but there was a whole lot of them.
Q. Could you talk about the year in general? You've been just playing
good week in and week out, a couple of breaks you could have even a
couple more wins than you already have.
VIJAY SINGH: I don't know, I'm just playing golf. I mean, I said after
Houston—or before Houston, I said, I'm playing better golf this year
than I did last year, it's just that I won more times last year. I
feel good about my golf game, my driving; my putting is not as good as
last year, but I don't feel like I'm putting badly, just they're not
going in the holes.
You know, it's been incredible. I'm looking forward to the next few
events. I've got next week and then I've got two weeks off, but I'm
looking forward to the U.S. Open when I get back.
Q. Did you keep your eye on the leaderboard to see how Sergio was
going or did you just play your own game?
VIJAY SINGH: After the 11th hole, after I made birdie on 10, I looked
up, he had doubled 9, so I said, "Wow, this is game on" because that's
when I was just one back. I went on and birdied 11, 12 and 13 and I
got ahead. Once you're within one shot or two shots of the lead going
into the last nine, it's anybody's game. I was playing well. You know,
I was in the middle of everything.
Q. It seems like you're in contention virtually every week. When you
go into a tournament right now in the mode you've been in the last two
years, do you just feel like you're going to be there at the end with
a chance?
