I shot a 65 yesterday without a bogey. You couldn't have been more confident ... I will tell you an hour and a half into this fourth round you just don't have the confidence that you have the day before.

It was just so amazing that that putt went in. There are so many factors and so many things that could happen.

You always have to think your opponent is going to make the shot. I don't think it was so much of a shock.
