I've been holding on so tight and trying to do it forcefully. Finally I just said, you know what, it's just time for me to just let go and whatever happens, happens.
ESPN (AP wire recap)
24 July 2011
There is not one second I'm not feeling like I'm going to just puke … I'm sorry he missed the putt but the fact I won knowing he missed it was just overwhelming.

Very pleased with the putt I holed on 17 and 18 to get in the playoff. I'm still a little pissed right now.
