Just super happy with the win. Obviously, it takes a lot of hard work to win everywhere,
00:05
but it's great to cap it off on Sunday the way I did.
00:09
Obviously, a bit of experience helped. I was still very nervous towards the end.
00:15
I dealt with it really well and all the mental work that I've been doing
00:21
helped me a lot in that situation.
00:22
I just three-parted 16, so I made a bogey there, but I just stayed very patient,
00:30
had a good attitude towards it and just tried to finish the best that I could.
00:34
17 hit two great shots in there, finished with a great putt.
00:39
And then 18 has been a tee shot that I wasn't really comfortable throughout the whole week.
00:45
And I spoke the night before with my mental coach about a couple of tee shots and 18 was one of them.
00:50
We had a good strategy for that hole, played a beautiful tee shot.
00:54
In the second shot, I was trying to go a little left of the pin, middle of the green,
00:58
pushed it a little bit, but it was striked really well.
01:01
So the ball just stayed on its line, pulled a nice putt to make an eagle to finish.
01:07
Since becoming a father, it was funny.
01:09
I wasn't doing very well on course, off the course as well before my son was born.
01:14
And then after my son was born, my perspective kind of changed a little bit.
01:18
I'm more relaxed and they've been traveling quite a lot with me, so it's great.
01:21
When they come with me, like after golf is over, I come back and I'm a dad.
01:25
I'm just doing my normal dad stuff and you completely forget about golf and that's great.
01:32
Otherwise, it's hard to not think about golf if they're not here,
01:36
but I try and do that as much as I can and just shut it off.
01:41
Unfortunately, they weren't here last week, but they'll be back on the road again next week.
01:47
So I'm looking forward to seeing them again and obviously my wife as well.
01:52
Two great courses.
01:53
Obviously, the weather is amazing.
01:55
It's almost too warm to play golf, but it's better than being too cold.
01:59
Hospitality has been amazing.
02:01
We just love it coming out here and play some good tournaments.
