00:00John first man to win this championship three times first man to win five Rolex events

00:04You've sort of 67 to hold off a world-class field. How special is this win?

00:09very

00:10you know

00:11because of Kobe I never got the chance to defend my 2019 title and

00:17Even I decided not to come last year. I came in with the mentality that well

00:21Nobody beat me in the last two years. So they're gonna have to be beat me again and

00:26Came in with that confidence and you know a lot of similarities to the past last time I won here

00:30I started at 15 under had a heck of a front nine and

00:33shot 20 on there as well to win it so

00:37You know, I like this course and this course likes me

00:39So I hope I get this is you know

00:41The third of many more

00:43Hatton and Norin got within one with six holes to play

00:45How big was the birdie putt at 13 and the up and down for power at 14 massive?

00:50Massive and the second shot in 12th that second shot to give myself a birdie chance was amazing and on 13

00:56I was just thinking get it to the hole because I kept hitting it just short in line with those putts

01:00I was beating them all just you know, a little bit tentative and

01:03Those two putts were were were huge because then I kind of got on the attack mode

01:07I told Adam when I thought I was still one ahead on 15

01:11I told them two threes two fours win the tournament for sure and that's what I had in mind

01:15Well in the last part, I know I had it once so I kind of just

01:18Tried to basically to putt it

01:20How deep did you have to win to win this one because dig to win this one because you were poor off the tee today

01:25You admit?

01:26Honestly, I cannot believe I shot 12 under with how badly I hit it off the tee on the weekend

01:31I was just able to manage really well, and I think a lot of those times what I pitched out

01:37My wedge game saved me and on the grains on the weekend. I don't know what my stats were but inside 10 feet

01:43I was really really really solid and that's always gonna carry you forward and any time I was in the fairway my iron game for

01:48Great, so I just stayed aggressive and and picked my battles

01:52And again, I think I shot about as low as I could have shot on them on the weekend to get this one

01:56Just finally I went on the PGA Tour a winning your own national championship and a win here. How would you sum up 2022?

02:03Well, hopefully people can stop telling me that it was a bad year

02:07There's three wins worldwide three wins in three different continents

02:10Yeah, I wasn't a major championship, but it's still a really really good season

02:13you know had a had a second boy this year a lot of changes at home and I

02:18Know they're watching. So good morning. I know you're on vacation, but

02:22I'll be home soon

02:24Many many congratulations

02:25Fantastic, but you know, it also helps I get a lot of videos from my kids back home

02:29Just laughing and doing things and I do draw from some memories, you know

02:34Kelly sent me a video for youngest and echo laughing while he was clapping

02:38And that's what I was thinking on the last few holes trying to get a positive and hopefully trying to make them

02:42Pop a little bit more great playing drum. Well done. Thank you
