"If I had putted normally, I would be looking a lot better right now" - Tiger Woods
"I figured if I could just get to even par I might be able to get into a playoff. Unfortunately, I made those two bogeys on 16 and 17 and that kind of put me out of that equation." - Tiger Woods
"It's completely changed my whole career. I can't believe I'm holding this trophy." - Michael Campbell
"I almost gave up golf in 1998. I had had injuries, I had lost my card. I had nowhere to play but invitations came in and it got me started again. I've won 10 times since '99." - Michael Campbell
"So I had a three-shot lead going to the last and I thought to myself: 'just keep your focus, keep your focus'. And it worked." - Michael Campbell
"I got off to a bad start and from there on it pretty much went downhill the whole way," - Retief Goosen
"I played rubbish at the end of the day. There is nothing else to say." - Retief Goosen

Final round (Sunday)
Michael Campbell held off a charging Tiger Woods to clinch his maiden major title by two shots on Sunday. The 36-year-old Campbell, four off the pace overnight, collected four birdies and three bogeys to close with a one-under-par 69. Woods, who had been chasing his 10th career major, rallied from a bogey-bogey start and reeled off four birdies in the last nine holes to secure second place with a matching, best-of-the-day 69. He missed an eight-footer for par on 16 and three-putted for bogey on 17. Sergio García and South Africa's Tim Clark both carded 70s to tie for third at five over, level with Mark Hensby who registered a 74. Retief Goosen, three strokes clear overnight, threw away his chance of a third U.S. Open title by dropping six shots in the first nine holes. Five more bogeys after the turn led to a dismal 81 and a share of 11th place at eight-over 288. Jason Gore ballooned to a 14-over 84 to tie for 49th while Olin Browne returned an 80 for a share of 23rd. David Toms shot a 77 to finish tied for 15th. Ernie Els fired his lowest score of the week, a level-par 70 earning him a share of 15th at nine-over 289 while Phil Mickelson returned a 74 to finish at 12 over in a tie for 33rd.| # | Player | Country | Score | To par | Winnings |
