I’m very proud to be the champion of his tournament.“[Winning] has a lot to do with keeping the mind as quiet as possible. Part of the problem is just trying too hard. It’s frustrating to not have the best out of myself, just because I know that I can putt really well. It’s not like I’ve been a bad putter my whole career. I’ve just gone through a stretch where it’s been tough. “I think [for this win] I did a really good job of not letting the misses get to me.“(Caddie) Teddy (Scott) did a really good job of keeping me in a good head space. We stayed positive out there, and I hit a lot of good putts.”
