It feels pretty amazing. I feel like I really deserve this one. I put a lot of hard work into it.

some of the drives that I hit were really terrible out there, but I was able to get up and down, make bogey, not have a score that was too large to come back from.

I didn't realize that I was bogey-free until I made the last putt on the last hole so that was pretty cool.
