Today was a pretty boring, uneventful round of golf, but I'm thrilled. I never felt like it was mine. You never know what's going to happen. I'm glad it's over. I'm really proud to have won here twice.

I've been hitting it well and doing everything pretty well, really. I've had quite a few tap-ins and 3- or 4-footers, which is always nice.

My goal is to play in the Masters next year.

This is my first time, so it's all new to me.

It was good to be back out there.

I still have people come up to me and tell me 'Good job in Reno last year.' That means a lot. Even though the NEC is going on and it's a bigger tournament, people still follow Reno.

That was a clutch putt. I didn't want to make double there.
