To go bogey-free on the weekend, one bogey all tournament, it's quite spectacular. Very proud of how I played today, and very proud of that putt on 17, which made 18 a lot easier.

I was telling my caddie that I don't feel any disappointment. I feel like I gave it everything that I had. It didn't feel like I gave a shot away the whole season.
