I think Tahoe is one of the hidden gems in the country, and I've played a lot of golf around the country. You can't beat the smells and the clean air and just the way it makes you feel.

There are some guys out here that can really play golf, but it has not been their focus for that long.

I was in the back part of the bunker, so I had to carry the whole bunker. It was probably 20 yards.

I used to read every golf magazine front to back; I was addicted to Golf Channel, read Rotella, read every golf book.

I had very low expectations. Honestly, I think I had 11 rounds of golf the entire year in before this tournament, and I had hit balls maybe four or five times.

If you take my entire golfing life, my favorites are the older courses, the more traditional and the more authentic.

When you have answers, when everything has a reason, when it makes sense to an analytical person, you're going to be more successful. You're going to be more comfortable.
