“Showed up, rested, ready to go. Got off to a slow start on Thursday, but then I played some really nice golf in the middle of the tournament.“I’m just maturing as a person on the course.
I think the last month or so has been as good as I’ve been mentally in a long time. “I think that’s why I’m seeing some of the results, you know, just staying in it and doing the best I can. “A lot of that stuff is easier said than done, but I’m proud of how I’ve been mentally on the course the last bit.
