This is just a dream. I didn't have a major and now have two in a row. I can't believe it right now.

I'm proud of the run I made. Congrats to Haeran. It was a lot of fun out there, but I'm pleased with how I played and it gives me a lot of confidence.

Today I miss a lot of four meters birdie putt so I just want to do not short. I just thought, do not short. Past the hole is fine. Miss putt is fine. Just not short.
