I would say the pars on 17 and 18 were gut check time too. The finishing stretch here is so brutal.

Obviously, I'm playing some great golf, but this one stings. My last couple wins, I felt like it kind of came out of nowhere. This one was more like I felt like I should have won.

To be completely honest with you, right now I'm exhausted. This course is a total beatdown trying to play. I'm very pleased I didn't have to play any extra holes.
