I'm super excited.
It hasn't fully set in yet, but looking over and seeing my name, it's just a free emotion.
It's pretty sweet.
It was exciting.
It was stressful.
And then when I made that putt on nine, it was a huge momentum gain going into the back nine.
It was once I somehow got that ball in the fairway on 18.
It wasn't my best, but I got where I needed to go, and then it kind of set in.
I mean, I knew Scotty was charging when I was on 12 or 13.
I just tried to keep making pars, throwing some birdies, and keep my head down.
It's not fun, but he caught me at Procore last year, and fortunately enough,
I was able to best him this tournament, but he's the world number one for a reason.
Yeah, this is my third professional start, so it's kind of a crazy game.
I'm just trying to keep my head down, keep working, and keep getting more.
