I was a little bit concerned after two bogies and I overcome with the birdie and then next one I recover from one bad shot and then right after that horn blow I said, "Oh, thank you, I can win."

At this tournament I aggressively played. I already made Top 125, feel confidence so I don't have any fear to attacking the pin.

Si looks like he was playing a very consistent game, just making lots of birdies and making it tough on us so in the end it looked like on the back-9 we were kind of playing for 2nd.
