There's a lot of expectations with defending. Definitely, the easiest way to win an event is, without a doubt, to be playing well and to be under the radar.

It's a funny week too. With three golf courses it's hard to prepare, so that leads to a certain bit of the unknown.

It's not worth losing a friend over, but we had 15 very awkward holes after that,
davis expecting hole last maybe mine prepared tough
It's actually not a tough way to lose. I was expecting Davis to get up-and-down on the last and I'd have to hole mine out to go to 19. I was prepared for that, but maybe not prepared for him holing out.

I played better today, but what's been going wrong with my game affected my short game today a bit as well.

I didn't swing it very well for the first 14 holes, but over the last four holes I got back into it and made some really nice swings, so I am happy about that.

The only thing I can do as good as last year is win again this year. ... It's still a nice problem to have.

It can be quite a frustrating golf course. One of my strengths is to stay patient, and that's probably why I have performed well here in the past.

Growing up in Ireland, you learn how to play the wind. Or if you don't, you don't play golf, one or the other. Yeah, I like the conditions here. I'm very comfortable here. I'd be happy to see a bit of wind this week.

I was happy to finish strong. I didn't play well Thursday, so it's funny how things turned for me today.
