“I knew it wasn’t going to be easy, that two-putt on 16 was major,” said the American. “Things aren’t easy for me normally, so I was ready. That birdie on 17 goes down as one of the best holes of my life. This is so special. I played in the final group here when Tiger won and I got to watch him do that. I’m so proud to be win this tournament. Thank you, Japan and ZOZO, just a first-class event and golf course.”
This was his fifth PGA Tour title but his first since the 2018 BMW Championship.
“I really put a lot of work in this offseason. You know, this is what I want to do, I want to win tournaments, I want to play in Ryder Cups, I want to be in the conversation and this is a good start.”
