It’s just like a culmination of a lifetime of work. I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve spent hitting golf balls dreaming of winning on the PGA Tour. Yeah, it’s really special.

Mixed emotions. Really happy with how I fought. Left some shots out there the last few days unfortunately with the putter, but can’t expect to make everything, right?
