Q. You told us how special this tournament is and how much you wanted to win it and you just have. Describe it for us.
BILLY HORSCHEL: Man, I'm speechless, which is very, very rare. As I've said two years ago and as I said this week the crowds are absolutely unbelievable here and they supported me when I came over in 2019 and they supported me this year. Played really good today, really well. Obviously missed a few putts. To win this event means a lot.
As I said yesterday, in my mind, it's equivalent to The PLAYERS Championship. We have a great event on the PGA TOUR and I live there and would love to live that one but I have this one under my belt, and I'm very happy.
Q. There are always key moments at any point in a final round. For you what were they today?
BILLY HORSCHEL: I think started off, making par at No. 1 was huge. Fooch and I played a flyer like we have all week and hit it over the green and made a big putt for par. I played really great all around. Making the birdie at 15 was huge. Getting me I think tied for the lead at the moment at 18-under with three holes to play, three birdie holes, and I knew if I could birdie two of the three I probably would win the event. But one birdie was good enough.
Q. The second time in your career you've won a massive championship just after they have made The Ryder Cup picks. You must be gutted about that. If Brooks is unable to play due to injury, are you expecting a call from Captain Stricker?
BILLY HORSCHEL: I don't know. It sucks not making the team. As I said all week, I didn't play consistent enough and well enough after I won the Match Play to warrant a pick or to get enough points to be an automatic selection.
I was a little gutted I didn't get a call this week. I didn't think the call was going to say I made the team, but I was a little gutted that I didn't get a call to say, you didn't make the team. In my mind I thought I would at least get that. There was a little more added motivation this week for that.
