I think you're not as tough and cocky as when you're young and full of energy. I got humbled. I had to reorganize my life. I had to put my faith first, my family second and my golf third.

I think it's probably as significant as any win I've ever had for me personally. Maybe not for the golfing world, because it's not a U.S. Open or a Players Championship, but for me it's a huge win ... to be out of the winner's circle for 24 years. I mean that's a long time. And I'm just humbled that I could come back and do it.
