Q. Talk about that putt on the 17th. You've burned the edges all day on the putting green, played great this morning, and then that life-changing putt on the 17th. There was a leaderboard next to you. Were you aware that was needed?
KALLE SAMOOJA: No, I didn't want to see the leaderboard coming down the stretch. I kind of knew that -- well, talking with John on 15 that we needed two birdies. He told a good story on 16 that he misses tending flags, like as a caddie you see the ball rolling in.
I said, well, on 16 tend the flag, let's see how it goes because I couldn't really see the hole. Left it a bit short. Then on the 17th, I said, I have a good feeling about this. Go and tend the flag again because I can't really see the hole. Perfect putt.
Same with 18; I said to John, let's make it karma; go and tend the flag. Yeah, one of my best shots today.
Q. I can certainly sense the emotion from you. It's been a tough year, 27 events, you've traveled a bunch. It's been a long year. What does this mean to you playing on the LIV Golf League in 2024?
KALLE SAMOOJA: Well, I'm going to have a little bigger feeling of respect, that's for sure. I can't wait to get home. Wife and three boys waiting at home, so it's been a long year. I miss them a lot.
Q. To add to that, you're the first Finnish player on the LIV Golf League; how proud are you?
KALLE SAMOOJA: Very, very proud. Yeah, it's a big step forward in my career.
