From the papers
AP (via CBS Sports recap)
8 June 2025
To be honest, Sam and I had a bit of a pillow fight for three holes. But that shot I hit on 18, that 3-wood, was probably the best shot I've ever hit.
AP (via CBS Sports recap)
8 June 2025
I couldn’t have hit two better shots on the last hole. I don’t hit 3-wood that far, and it’s blowing straight into the wind, and it decided to bounce all the way to the back woods
