I never expected to make a 40-footer, and especially in that situation. That was a little bit of luck involved, but felt like I put a good roll on it, and it was meant to be, I guess.

I don't say this in a negative way, but everybody is cheering for Phil. He just won this last week, he's the man, and if I'm at home, I'm cheering for Phil.

After Phil made that putt, I gave him a fist pump, and he looked at me and said, "Join me." He really meant it.
