What did Jon Rahm say after winning the LIV Golf Michigan?

Jon Rahm won the LIV Golf Team Championship at Michigan, and after winning the tournament, the player joined the post-tournament presser to share his thoughts about the triumph. He said ( via ASAP Sports):

“It's always hard to put into words. Neither Tyrrell or I were having a great day today, and even during the whole week, I don't think we played our best. But the young guys kind of were a beacon of strength playing good and out there today as well. They carried us all the way to the end. Tyrrell and I got it going a little late, but better late than never.”

He continued, “When it came to the playoff, I felt fairly confident we're both really good wedge players, and if we just put it in the fairway, I was fairly confident we were going to give ourselves a lot of chances. To just get it done like that, knowing I hit it close enough and not really have to stress about it, it's a wonderful feeling. It's been a long year. I'm happy I finally won a playoff, and I couldn't be prouder of all of them. They played unbelievable.”
