The only thing I could say I drew on is my brother-in-law is left-handed and I putted with his left-handed putter before and I'm pretty good at it.

I was thinking when I was 16 that this tournament is not over, especially as hard as the wind is blowing and if I could sneak a birdie in there, I might have a chance.
