It was nice to hole that one at the last ... I had it in the back of my mind that Charl was on 4 under and I wanted to be in the last group. I played lovely. Nice to make one-putt at the last from about 18 feet because I hadn't made any all day. But tee to green was brilliant.

The charity does such outstanding work for what is a cause very close to my heart.
I think [the PGA Tour] would like me to go and be a member there ... but as of Monday evening I became an individual again and I do what's right for Lee Westwood now.
The Children's Hospital Charity does such outstanding work in fund-raising for what is a cause very close to my heart.
Watching Luke do so well in the FedEx Cup tournaments made me want to try it out, too ...

Watching Luke do so well made me want to try it out too ... You need a fresh approach every now and then.
I saw how big the FedEx Cup events were – they carry a lot of ranking points and look great courses to play. I know I said I'd rather go on holiday with the kids, but looking at the schedule I can still do that.
Watching it I felt like ‘I want to be there’ ... It’s a big tournament and I’ve always played well there. Joining gives me the flexibility to play The Players. And I’ll only play about two or so fewer tournaments on the European Tour – Holland and Switzerland, but I’ll return to them in the future.
It's a great event and one I've always enjoyed playing
I missed The PLAYERS Championship last year when watching it on television. It was always a scheduling issue for me. Though the rules changed making it exempt from PGA TOUR restrictions, I had already set my schedule for later in the year in Asia. I didn’t want to break any of those commitments
I missed The Players Championship last year when watching it on television
I am not a member of the PGA Tour so I don't need to play the event
After the two opening World Golf Championships [tourneys] I would bracket our [European Tour] PGA Championship in May as just as important as it offers exemption for anybody in the world's top 50 to play. I don't see many of them [Americans] wanting to take up that offer
It just felt right in a Ryder Cup year to commit to a full program in the United States
