When I birdied the seventh and ninth I thought back to doing the same when I won. Then I birdied the 12th like I did then.

It was travelling. It's funny when you see the line you're not thinking about the pace. That was a bonus.

Every part of my game -- my driving was good, my iron play was good and when I did miss the green my chipping was good. And when I did not hit a very good chip, I made the putt.
