I came close a few times and felt like I could have won. But it wasn't me making mistakes, more like people grabbing it. That is the difference today, I went and grabbed it.

I can't putt any better than that -- that was unbelievable. I rolled the ball beautiful.

I hit a great shot on the 18th with a three wood but screwed up the easy part.
