I jumped up and saw it coming right down on the pin. And I went nuts. That was fun. I don't know how many or if I'll ever have a moment equivalent to that again.
ESPN (AP wire recap)

If I was in Berger's shoes, I would be cursing Jordan Spieth right now for the break off the tee and then holing a 30-yard bunker shot, that's a lot of luck

I played the playoff hole great. He hit an unbelievable bunker shot, and Jordan does Jordan things. So there's not really much you can say.
