She said, I'm very happy for you, but then at the same time she was crying. So I was like, I didn't know what to say to her, but I just said thank you and great playing.

Just no expectation before the round, so that helps. I could focus on just every single shot, and I had really controlled myself really well out there, so that's why I think I played really well.

Back nine is very tough on me, like I made a birdie chance, I can make it, so very disappointing, but another great experience for me.
