Q. After that horrendous start, how satisfied are you with that comeback and to birdie this hole and win the playoff?

DEAN BURMESTER: This has been emotional. Since kind of before Virginia I've been going through a bit of a rough time, personal stuff, and I've just been grinding and trying to get better.

I think about my kids and my wife back home, and I'm just trying to do the best I can for them. My wife finished an ultra marathon the week of West Virginia. That Sunday I was on my phone watching her, and that truly gave me an inspiration to kind of -- if she can do that, she can run 90 whatever kilometers in a day, nine and a half hours or whatever it was, then I can do anything.

Yeah, for me, that was where it's at. Then after three bogeys in a row to start, I was like, fudge, I don't know where I'm going. The head was nowhere. But I just kept at it, and Jason, my caddie, was just phenomenal. He was just like, we never give up. We're not going to give up. We've been through too much crap to give up.

That's what we did. Then I had a chance in regulation. Obviously hit a good putt, lagged it, just to protect my lead, and then to hit that out of the rough and get the right bounce and then roll it in -- I watched Jon's go left. I knew I had the right line, and to roll it in in front of everybody that's here is amazing.
