    I'd like to see the wind blow a little harder for the rest of the day. Maybe a little rain will be good, ... slim to none.

    I can honestly say I never thought I would say that I actually win a tournament using my head. But honestly this weekend, I think I won this tournament playing smart golf, using course management and staying patient. I mean, somebody is going to have to find out when the last time somebody won a tournament making one birdie on the weekend. That may have never happened before in the history of golf, by the way.

    I am excited about tomorrow. I didn't hit my driver quite as well today, but I made no birdies and I'm in half a state of shock about that. That just never happens to me. I can usually scrape one or two in somewhere. The good news is I hit a lot of good putts. I just didn't read them right or my speed wasn't right or a combination of both.

    I felt like it was a 36-hole day. Thank God we ran out of holes. I saved my best drive and my best iron for the last hole and knew I could two-putt from 6 feet. How embarrassing to lag from 6 feet.

    Today I felt good. Actually, starting out I almost felt too relaxed. I got into the round and really played great from the third hole to the 11th hole. I played okay on the back, but birdied the last hole which was nice. Two real good ones there.

    I actually ... felt too relaxed. I hit an awful iron into the first hole, then another terrible iron into 2 and I thought for a minute I might be in trouble.

    I actually like that, because then it feels like everyone is on a level playing field, ... As the week goes along, you learn the course a little more. It's kind of fun going to play somewhere I've never played before.
