Quotations

«I'm bitterly disappointed, particularly having fought so hard, to finish as poorly as I did,»

«You know, I felt the ball never ran for me all day,»

«I played so well the first few days but Michael played well today. I couldn't get at him,»

«I caught him a few times but I couldn't get one up on him. My game just wasn't quite good enough.»

«[Campbell, however, was still alive and all he had to do was ride the huge slice of luck he received on that par four - when his approach flew the green and was a foot from being out of bounds - to chip up for a birdie and play the next six holes in one under to steal the Match Play crown. How? Simple. McGinley played like a drain, the 16th being a case of muck in point. After his rival had found the bunker off the tee, McGinley responded to this chink of light to find the darkest reaches of the trees on the left. Two down with two to play and when Campbell pitched to a foot on the par-five 17th it was shake hands time for the winner and shake heads time for the loser.] The 12th was crucial, ... A massive break for him that I'll never forget.»

«Michael is buzzing with confidence. He's had a great year. The US Open was great for him. That's the sort of kick I need. I need a big tournament win.»

«[After McGinley had hit his second into a greenside bunker, Campbell gave his too much, the ball bounding down the bank towards the boundary fence.] Six inches more, ... and it would have been out of bounds and I would have gone one up.»

«Everyone expected us to win and they had nothing to lose. They played really well. We were seven or eight under par but still lost.»

«It means a lot to me to reach the final,»

«But just getting into the final isn't something I'm interested in...it's winning it that I'm interested in. I'm going to go out there to win it.»
