That won the tournament for me, for sure.

I had hit a number of good shots and was playing nice golf. I birdied two and that got some momentum, those were my 11th and 12th holes.

It was Woodstock meets Augusta out there, unbelievable. For how many people there are and how close they are, they're just fantastic. They're so into it and they really want you to do well, but they'll tug on you a little bit if you hit a bad shot.

It wasn't the best round of golf I've ever played but certainly the best in a while. For the last few weeks I've been telling my wife and everyone else who would listen that I just haven't been able to shoot that low round I needed, and today it finally happened.

It just kind of felt like my day towards the end of the day.

I made some great putts. I just had the rhythm and the feel.

It just kind of came out of nowhere. I haven't been playing great. I haven't been getting as much out of my rounds as I could.

When you're off for a long time and you come back, you expect your game to come back fast.
