Yeah, I wasn't worried. Dropped the ball and it kind of ended up in a pretty decent lie and just wanted to make sure I got it there. Yeah, just happened to have chipped it in.

I couldn't breathe, Tom. Yeah, I couldn't really see. I was like is it dead straight? Yeah. I'm hitting the putt. Glad it went in the hole.
