If I wasn't to win, I didn't want it to be because of me. I wanted it to be because someone made a run, which Jon did. I'm just lucky that he didn't do it a hole earlier.

After I made that putt on 17, I never looked at the scoreboard. So as far as I was concerned, I was one back. With a birdie, I was going to be in a playoff.
