Robert Allenby Quotations

We both battled. At least I made it interesting.

I'd like to create a little bit of history - it would be a great way to end the year. I know I can do it. Every time I come down to Australia, I always feel I could win all three.

For the Presidents Cup team for the International side, it's a huge loss. You know he's either going to win or he's going to halve pretty much all his matches. It really makes the International team a little bit weaker, but on the other side, we all hope for a fast recovery.

I got back to basics, just started hitting shots. The more you relax and just see the shot and hit it, the better off you are. Sometimes coaches just gets in the way. So now I'm doing it myself, just me and my caddie.

I got away to a good start, eagle on the first is good,

Greg is Australian golf. He doesn't owe the tour anything.

I was too scared to commit to shots, especially those first five or six holes. Once I was 4 over after about six holes, I pretty much said, 'I've got to do something, I've got to forget about the hand and just go and play golf.

I'm hitting the ball good. I'm driving the ball well, hitting a lot of good iron shots and I'm doing everything pretty consistent.

I wasn't expecting him to miss that putt. At least I made it interesting.

What it is, is hitting shots without fear. We all have fear in us, fear of pulling it left in the water or pushing it right in the trees. But when you're confident, it doesn't matter if the whole green is surrounded by water because you are not thinking about that. All you are thinking is putting the ball as close as you can to the flag. That's confidence.

We see them. I'd say 70 percent of the things we sign end up in someone's back pocket, but if you don't sign they'll have a go at you.

Towels are the worst. They're hard to sign and the strings get stuck on the pen. Then the next one you sign is smudged.

As soon as I hit it I knew it was perfect.

It would be nice, that's why I'm here, to try and do it. Obviously last year I got my game into sixth gear and hopefully I can find the form that I had then for this week.

A visor. My head gets too hot in a hat.

It's the same for everyone, we all have to play it so why whine about it and why not just get on with it and play. I was happy to see everyone whining about it because I knew that they weren't going to win.

It's your national title, it's like a U.S. Open, that's the way it's meant to play,

Anytime you win a couple of holes with pars against Tiger, that's a bonus.

Skin. I cannot elaborate on that. I'm happily married.

I'm making the odd one or two, but if I was to make some putts, I'd probably be about 15-under. That's golf. And you've got to take what you're given sometimes.

I had my chances. He made a few more birdies than me. It's a shame it ended the way it did, but at least I made it interesting. I took him all the way to the end. I can't be disappointed losing to the best player in the world.

I just picked the club I could make the smoothest swing with, ... I knew my hand would fall off the club at impact. I had no power, no feeling. I can't guarantee I'll be here tomorrow.

I played nicely last week. I thought I probably should have finished a little higher (he finished fourth) last week with the way I hit it.

I had a great time out there this morning because being first off, I had perfect greens for the first nine holes. Any time you shoot five under around this course, it's always a good round.

I couldn't afford to get delicate with it.
