I was kind of mad at myself at 17 because I was 5 up after 11 and now he was coming back at me. I just told myself to make a good swing, otherwise it's going to be even tighter. I didn't think standing on the 12th tee that I'd be standing on the 17th tee.

This is my first trip to a competitive tournament in the United States. So far, it's looking pretty good. I really didn't know what to expect coming in and probably didn't expect to get this far, but it's great to be here. This is the biggest tournament for me outside of the Open Championship.

I have no idea how we (meaning his father) will celebrate tonight. We had a lot of fun this week together and I was very happy he came along with me and was here. It was fun. It was very special.
