It's difficult to win on the PGA Tour. Don't like calling this a second-tier event, but obviously, the best players in the world are in Austin, Texas, this week. Still got a great field down here.

I sat over there Wednesday and I said that I was here on a mission. I was here motivated, and the attitude was going to be very, very important this week.

To be honest, Graeme earned it. He hit some great shots and 17 is a perfect example.
