I asked my caddie. I handed him the ball, I was like, 'Is it OK?' My caddie said, 'Oh, it's fine.' Then I was like, 'Oh, maybe I've got two putt to win.'

I was like, 'Oh, I'm four shots behind with like two holes to go.' So just tried to play and make as many birdies as I could on the last two holes. I made one.
