TRANSCRIPTS

-All right. Thank you. Rory, at what point did you realize that...

-All right. Thank you. Rory, at what point did you realize that you had a chance to get that victory and then at what point you think it got taken away from you a little bit? -I realized whenever, at birdie 13 they get the 11 on there and then you know made a grip at par 7-14 and then going up to the 15th green. I looked at the leaderboard and saw that I was only you know, 1 shot behind you know, and had a good chance on 15 and on 17 to make birdies and didn't quite make the putts and then I saw Robert birdie 14 and 16 and they're like 2 of the toughest holes in the course with a birdie. So you know, if he goes on to win he certainly deserved it. -How do you balance the positive of a good finish with the negative of not getting the victory? -You know you gotta take the positives you know. It's the 1st week of the year and you know, this is, looks like it's gonna be the 2nd year in a row here that I'll finish 2nd but you know still a very good start to the season and something to build on. -So you're gonna build and you're gonna skip a week and then you're gonna play Dubai. So in between, what will you work on here in the desert? -Just work on still the same things that I have you know, worked on. You know coming into this week a little bit of posture, trying to get the club on the right position on the way back and I felt like you know, this week I improved off the tee everyday. I didn't miss the fairway until the 11th of today. So you know that was a big improvement and something I still have to work on. -Nice work. See you soon. -Thank you.
