“I like this golf course but I've managed to fritter away a win here each of the last two years. I don't try to go out and screw up the last day. I figure one of these years I may sneak through and win here.”
“I tried to stay positive and tried not to think about what happened here the last two years. All I wanted to do was play good golf. If someone had a great round and beat me, that's OK. I just didn't want to beat myself like I did the last two years.”
“I wasn't overly nervous on the last putt, which is kind of a first for me. There were times in the past when my heart has been beating out of my chest. I just had two thoughts — stay still, and make sure the putter goes through the ball. I thought I left it short, but it got to the cup on my last roll.”
“Someone dropped a bottle as I was ready to hit on No. 8 so I backed off the ball. I stepped back in, tried to be positive, hit it, and it came off the club just the way I wanted it to. But I'm as surprised as anybody it went in. You don't ever expect a tee shot to disappear into the hole.”
“That means a lot to lead wire-to-wire, which I've never done before. There's a special satisfaction in the heat of battle when guys are coming after you and you still hit good shots.”
“You've got to have a mind-set to play your own game, almost like you're behind. Guys out here are pretty good. Someone can come from four or five behind pretty easily.”
