    I made four bogeys, three of which were ridiculous with wedges to the green, ... But those things happen. On the bright side I hit six birdies, so I'll take the positives from that. Seventy is a good score.

    I needed to shoot a good score today, and I did, ... I played well, got a great break on one hole. I snap-hooked a drive on the par- five seventh into the hazard. It was dead left. It hit a tree and popped out to the front edge of the fairway about 100 yards off the tee. I laid up with a three-iron and hit a sand-wedge about three feet and made a four. It should have been a six or who knows what.

    I really never honestly thought I would win again, let alone on a golf course like this. I have my moments when I'm pretty good, but I have a lot of self doubt and a lot of demons that are floating around inside my head.

    I never thought I would say I won a tournament with my head, ... Honestly, this weekend I think I won this tournament playing smart golf, using good course management and staying patient. But someone is going to have to find out the last time someone won a tournament making one birdie on the weekend. That may not have happened before in the history of golf.

    I played awful, ... If there weren't 20 marshals on every hole and a couple of thousand spectators, I would have lost five balls today and shot about 84. I missed the last eight fairways and was in the weeds every hole. I turned an 80, literally, into a 71.
