I've been a nervous wreck, to be honest, these last couple of days up here. But I knew once the tip-off came, I'd be fine.

I golfed out here a couple times in the last couple days and I knew it was going to be rough for these kids, ... The scary part is we've had rain since then and it softened up the greens a bit, and they were still extremely quick.

We knew it was going to be a long couple of days. It's hard to concentrate that long. I was really proud of the way we came back in the second round. Allen came back and gave us a good run. It was a battle.

We've never played against each other. Mom's a nervous wreck. It adds something to the game for me and him. They're having a great season. Once you start winning, it's easy to keep winning.

I wasn't going to wreck him. A couple of times I had him in compromising positions and I let him go. I didn't want to win that way. Jimmie understands that's just short-track racing. There are a lot of guys who don't. ...When you have a guy who understands and doesn't whine and carry on and complain, that makes it more fun.

It's not anything serious. But it makes more sense to miss a couple of days now than have it drag on through camp.
