I said to Colin, well, somehow we need to get to 15-under in the last three holes.

Well, I made it and I was sort of not really sure if I won the tournament or not. For a second I had to think, is that the winning putt or is somebody finishing at 15 as well.

I wasn't really expecting him to make eagle, but as they say, expect the unexpected.
