I feel if I play up to my standard, it's good enough to win a lot of tournaments. I think I am as good a player when it gets to be tough as anyone out here. I am starting swing well again and I am very encouraged about what will happen over the next year or year and a half.

It was a lot of fun to play today. It was a great day and a great crowd.
