"My golf game felt great all week long. I was very confident out there. Put in a lot of hard work really all of this year leading up to, I mean, you could say this, but arguably the last month and a half or so. I've been really proud of not only putting in the hard work but seeing some results.
"It's not often that golfers out here on tour get the chance to win and do win. I was very, very fortunate to have a great partner in Andrew Novak a few weeks ago at the Zurich Classic and get a win with him. Incredible experience,' he added.
