What they’re saying

“I've also been a proponent of saying you can't really find it during the tournament week, but I found a little something in my grip yesterday that seemed to really help me get my hands more securely on the club. Struck it much better today. ... felt a bit lost out there at times yesterday, so today felt a lot better. Felt more in control of my game. You can obviously see that through the cleaner card today.”
