This is unlike the Blue Monster, as calm as I've ever seen it.

This is unlike the Blue Monster, where the wind normally blows a lot. This is as calm as I've seen it at noon.

It's really easy out there. There's no wind. A lot of putts I wish I had back. I've got to go out tomorrow and play hard. It'll be a long day.

I worked really hard last week and worked really hard this week, as well. And I'm making putts now. I'm feeling good about my game. Hopefully, I can take it out there and just play now, and not think about what's wrong with my golf swing.

I'm playing really good and I'm hitting the ball very well off the tee. The only part of my game that is not as strong as last year is probably my putting. It's kind of gone down some. I threw away a lot of tournaments this year.

I have always defended a title on the PGA Tour and I am greatly disappointed I won't be able to do so in Boston. This tournament is very special to me and I hope to return to Boston in 2006.
