Arjun Atwal - "I told my caddie, 'We've got nothing to lose this week. Just go out there and try and win it. Guys are going to be out there trying to secure their FedExCup spots or whatever. We've got nothing. I don't have a card. I don't have anything. Just go out there and free-wheel it, and that's what I did this week."
