I think it'll be very gratifying for our players to see over the course of two years we've gone from being unranked to people giving us the nod (for No. 1) as a result of our improvement.

The goal was to try and keep them in the 50s. But when you've got an outfit like that with so many people who can score once they get going it's hard to get them stopped.

These polls are nice, but they don't really mean a whole lot. We're two weeks away from (the playoffs) when everything really counts.

Most of the players have grown to like the course more and more. I think it helps that we don't change locations. The Players has grown in popularity because it stays in Jacksonville. The fact the Players Championship doesn't move around has helped people accept the golf course. If you want to be a good player, you'd better learn to like it.

Of course we can do it. But more importantly the players have begun to think we can do it.

During the course of the fight, he didn't get frustrated.
