JIM FURYK: I played pretty solid. I didn't hit the ball as well as did I yesterday. Struck the ball very, very well yesterday and today found a way to get in the hole and made some putts. I got the ball up-and-down when I needed to, and, you know, that stretch, again, 9 through 12, I kind of got out to a big lead and just keep the ball in play in between the trees and get it done with.

Q.: Do you think your experience over here on these greens helped you a lot, a little, against these guys? Everybody else seemed to have a little trouble with the putting.

JIM FURYK: They are tough. They are tough greens to putt. Obviously it's tough to get a real grainy bermuda as fast as what we see like at a major championship. We were hitting the ball a little harder than we are used and you have to get used to the speed downgrain, into the grain.

They were difficult. I think the putting was really a big key for me. I got off to a slow start with the putter yesterday, the first six or seven holes and from that point on, I really had a good week with the putter. It makes the game a lot easier. These guys feel probably a little frustrated and didn't see nearly as many putts go in and that was a big difference.

Q.: You broke the string of Tiger Slams here.

JIM FURYK: I guess we're all glad he wasn't here. (Laughter.)

Q.: Would you like the option to have him here to try to defend his title?

JIM FURYK: As long as he didn't win the U.S. Open, it would have been nice. How's that? (Laughter.) I think we always wants to play against the best players in the world and that's undeniably him right now.

This is a great field. I think all of us really appreciated what happened to us this year and what we accomplished and what we did. Definitely not tainting it for me. This is a wonderful field. These three guys are world-class players. I might have been playing a little bit more to this point and I didn't really maybe have the family to wanting to go around -- or Mike actually had his family, the 12 guys, that drug him around to the pool and probably got him drunk half the nights. I kind of had a little bit more relaxing week and I had played a lot of golf coming into here, so my game might have been in a little better shape.

Other than that, it's a good field, good three guys. I think we all had a good time out there, whether we played poorly or not. And whether Tiger is here or not, it was a good tournament.

Q.: You flashed the shot of "hang loose" as your putt went down, is this your trademark after you win a tournament in Hawaii?

JIM FURYK: No, I've just had a lot of fun in Hawaii and now four wins. Every time I come, I definitely get quite a bit of support in Hawaii I think because of the success I've had, but also building a vacation home over here and my family spending a lot of time. I don't know, someone called me kamaaina the other day which is pretty interesting. That's almost , that's an honor, kind of calling me that I'm from Hawaii, so it was fun. They always like to see that in the fans, just having fun with them.

Q.: Where does yesterday and today's rounds rank with other back-to-back ground, not so much scoring but being consistent, striking the ball?

JIM FURYK: Well, yesterday was real consistent. I had a lot of birdie opportunities and it seemed like every hole I wasn't in trouble. I hit a lot of greens. Today I drove it in the rough quite a bit more often. Hit a couple loose shots. But, you know, it was fun. I've never -- until the U.S. Open, I was never involved with the tournament or a win where I really had a big jump or a big lead. The U.S. Open is the first experience I had there. I've always been kind of neck-in-neck. Most of them, I had a two-shot lead down to the 18th tee and it seems like that guy always birdies 18 on me. That's happened about four times. It's fine. Definitely those last four or five holes, you know, coming in and taking a little bit of the pressure off and just having fun and play.

Q.: What's more fulfilling, victory with a lead or winning in a playoff?

JIM FURYK: Definitely, if I had to pick, I've been in a playoff and been on the wrong side of quite a few of those. So this is definitely a lot more fun or a lot less nerve-wracking. It was fun.

You know, they are both rewarding. I think any time that you can get a victory in any event with such a good field, whether it's on the PGA TOUR, major championship or an event like this, it's a good feeling.

Q.: The tournament has a history with match-play. Are you happy with the format the way it is?

JIM FURYK: Well, I'm not complaining. If I win and complain there's a problem. We can't control that and we don't really have much input there.

I've always believed, if I had my choice, I prefer medal play, but I like match-play, too. I love the couple of events, whether it's the Ryder Cup or Presidents Cup or a World Golf Championships, that you can play a little different style. If doesn't really matter to me either way, but I probably prefer medal play a little bit.
