I think it's the best final round I've ever played to win a tournament. The first 11 holes was dream golf and I am ecstatic.

I honesty contemplated missing the cut on Friday as it was one over and I was two over. I thought I could be going home this week and it shows the fine line between success an failure.

It was incredible. I had a really relaxed attitude and was going to accept anything that came my way and felt quite comfortable.
