I knew on that last putt, all I had to do was just do my routine, read the putt how I usually do and just hit this putt because I've hit that putt a million times

Yesterday or the day before we saw a snake on [the] pond, so I was kind of thinking about that today

Obviously in the playoff hole, I just didn't hit a good shot. It just kind of spoke a lot about today.
