Maybe if he had been right off the golf course and gone out, he wouldn't have hit a bad shot. It's just unfortunate. Somebody has to win, somebody has to lose, and fortunately for me, it was John.

Well, after I missed the putt on 18, I said, "well, here we go again." Maybe it's just not going to be me again. John made it easy for me, I guess.

Unfortunately the playoff I came over the 3-wood out of a divot and then a guy stepped on my ball for the chip.
