McDowell failed to bring 'A-Game'

  • Intro:

    Post event reaction from runner-up Tim Clark, overnight leader Graeme McDowell and joint third place finisher Hiroshi Iwata after the final round of the WGC-HSBC Champions tournament in Shanghai, China on Sunday (9th November).

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English) Graeme McDowell:

    "To be brutally honest, I didn't have my 'A-Game' all week. And to be in the situation I was in, leading all week, going into the last day... the golf course just got so difficult this weekend. The pins were... evil at times and you really had to be 'on' with your iron play to have a chance to access them... and I didn't play well enough, simple as that and the putter that was so hot earlier in the week, cooled off this weekend and... yeah, of course, disappointing, but you know, to finish 'T3' (in a tie for third place) in this type of field, not playing my best, I've got to count myself fortunate. You know, I'd have loved to have gone out there in the play-off. I had a decent putt at the last, overran it a little bit..."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Tim Clark:

    "I wouldn't have expected to be in that position at the start of the week, so yeah, I fought hard and I knew I had to birdie that (first) play-off (hole), especially with him (eventual winner Bubba Watson) being able to reach (the green), but... I'm pleased overall, you know, obviously disappointed not to be that close."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Tim Clark:

    "Yeah, you know, I had a few shaky holes there in the middle of that front nine, which was a pity, because I was playing good, I thought I was playing good and putting good too, so that was a shame. From there, it was always going to be tough, but I managed to get myself back in the play-off."
