I just can't believe I win the tournament. I didn't expect anything at all, because like when I got here I didn't feel comfortable with my swing.

When I finish second it doesn't mean I didn't play good. I do my best. I play good. Just some player play better than me.

I had like a five-footer, six-footer, and about a four-footer and missed them all. If I made those I would've won, but that's golf I guess.
