Should have hit a softer 7-iron.

You have to hit 3- or 4-iron and make sure you have a downhill slope.

I don't know how it didn't go in. That was probably the best putt I hit all day, as far as (hitting it) exactly where I wanted to hit it, exactly the speed I wanted to hit it, and it looked like it would break in the right edge. And it never broke.

Courses are not getting any shorter. I could not hit the ball an average of 279, 280 (yards) and compete out here still. I needed to get eight to 10 more yards somehow. It makes a big difference.

I had dinner with Ernie Els. I think he said he hit a 4-iron and a 7-iron.

They're softer, no question. I didn't hit a whole lot of greens to even tell you how they were responding. Conditions are pretty benign now.
