ADDITIONAL INFO FROM ALLEN
“For the past 12 months, these players have been on form. You must be in terrific form to win this tournament.I’ve been putting a lot of effort into trying to improve my game. I want to be a part of that; I don’t want to watch other people take home all the awards.”In the end, though, you just need to play better, and I haven’t been. The most crucial thing is probably to come here and find some form.
“I really enjoyed playing this week and to beat anyone of Judd’s class in the final 10-3, I’m going in the right places.”With any luck, [the tournament] will remain here for a long time. In the previous few years, it has developed its own magic. Although it’s wonderful to be winning again, I won’t take anything for granted.”
Allen responds: “This is why we play – to play in front of the best crowds at the best venues against the very best in the world.”Judd has undoubtedly been the world’s best player this season by a wide margin. The rest of us have to catch up. I’m tired of texting him to congratulate him on winning every tournament
“It’s nice to get one over him, but he’ll be back and I’m sure he’ll give me a few bashings as the years go on.”
MORE FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP
“The season has gotten off to an incredible start. Of course, it’s difficult following a significant loss. However, the calendar has had an incredible start. I’m hoping to participate in more finals.”It’s good to have Mark back to his former self. Since he was the primary guy last year, I have something to shoot after once more. He has obviously been working hard. The upcoming season promises to be thrilling.”
