clutch driver drives felt help hit last seemed switched week win
I switched to a new driver last week and that really seemed to help me. I really felt comfortable and hit some clutch drives down the stretch. I made a lot of putts too and you have to do that to win out here.
seems spectators
I'd like it to go back to no carts. It just seems right. It seems like if spectators can go out and walk, we can, too. It's part of the competition.
mine win
That made me feel like it was still my tournament. Like it was mine to win or lose.
prove
I wanted to prove how well I was playing.
call simple
It was a pretty simple putt, if you can call it that from that distance.
birdie certainly hole looked round turned walk
I won't say it turned my round around, but it certainly helped. It never really looked like I was going to make a 4 on that hole at any point, but to walk away with a birdie was great.
ball chances couple course expect hurts mistakes played regard
You would expect to have a lot of chances here because the course is short. I have made a couple of mistakes of where I put the ball and in that regard it hurts me that I haven't played here before.

bogey boost front nice nine shoot starting
To shoot two-under on that front nine after starting off with a bogey like I did was a nice boost and kind of got me right there with the lead,
race eagles play
I was nervous starting off today. I was nervous because I felt like I was going to play good and shoot a good round. I was trying to calm myself down. This race is a long race. The eagle at two was helped, but I was trying not to be too eager.
passion thinking games
I think Curtis is finally getting his drive back, his passion for the game, ... I think he's starting to enjoy that competition again. That's what drives us all out here that feeling of being able to hit a good shot in a tough situation.
break-through hitting ceilings
I have been very, very consistent. But at the same time I kept kind of hitting my head on the ceiling and I couldn't break through.
When it comes down to you, it's uncomfortable,
