It's very unreal. I never thought about this going into this season.

I believe in myself, but the big thing is you don't have to play a perfect game. Just a few parts of your game need to be strong to get a win and I try to stay humble.

I would have loved to squeeze another birdie in there, give him something to think about coming up the last. But I'm still very happy with my performance.
