"It feels amazing and crazy because I had no intention of trying to win this morning. I didn't even think about it when I came off the course quite angry yesterday after playing a good round and chipping it into the water from the back of the green on 18. It's a great feeling now but it feels unreal.
"It's a tough course mentally coming down the stretch. It's not super narrow but it's just if you hit it a little bit wayward it can cost you. I putted probably the best I've ever putted.
