What they’re saying

“I pulled my back on the second hole today with a 7-iron from the middle of the fairway. After I hit my tee shot on No. 6, I honestly thought I was going pack it in. There were a lot of spasms...something I've had before. But, I started walking and just trying to stretch a little bit and it got better.”

“I did suck it up and hit a good one at 18, putting the approach right up around the green in two. That was the key to victory for me today.”
