I'm very excited. I'm feeling good about my game and I'm really excited to get back into the arena. Getting to play that course for a week ... it's not bad to have a tee time there.

I learned I could play in front of a crowd and that I could compete with those guys. Those were the two biggest questions in my mind and I walked away having answered them.

I've had a lot of fun over the last 25 years and haven't dedicated myself too much to anything. I've been pretty much blessed to be able to play the way I have. But I've got a little more drive now to want to do a little more, to bring myself up to another level.

I went in thinking that I was one of the best players, that I could compete with these guys. In the past, I didn't think I was good enough to do it. I have a greater belief in myself now.
