He claimed his first PGA Tour title on 16 July 2006 at the John Deere Classic, a one-shot victory over American J. P. Hayes.

I felt like I was in good form at home. And I'm working on the same issues while I'm out there. So I'm looking forward to keep that good run continuing throughout this year.

I'm thinking someone needs to go out there and put a bit of pressure on him. He may be thinking about what happened last week, and he really wants to try hard to get it done this week.

I think I suit that course, I like it. It's got good opportunity out there. I think if I just keep on playing the way I do and play nicely ... you never know what's around the corner.

I feel like I needed to just be able to believe in myself better and go out there full of trust and play my game, cut out the distractions and try to get to the next level that way.

Chad played a fantastic shot. That was a big turning point for him.

Oh, just a bit more trust and belief and relaxation out here on TOUR. It's like there's obviously issues going on with myself, being a good player but never really getting it done.

The golf course is looking great. It's a strong course. I think the back nine is quite stronger than the front. Fantastic conditions.

Anywhere within probably six shots of the lead, I think you have a chance, because you can shoot low. The Classic Club is a different style golf course, too. It's a lot longer and if it's a little breezier tomorrow, if you shoot a low number, you can really, really do some damage.
