Q. Matt, you said last night after the round you knew it would be difficult today to try and get this first win. Leaderboard got a little tighter throughout the final round than you probably wanted. What was the biggest challenge today?
MATT McCARTY: I don't know, just kind of my lag putting I guess helped me in there. Like one three-putt, but seemed like I was a long ways away all day.
Yeah, I don't know. It was good. Hard-fought. A lot of tough pins with the wind picking up. Just was able to hit my spots well enough and just hang around and have lot of like stress-free pars I guess, which is nice.
Yeah, then make a few birdies when they came. So this was nice. It was a lot of fun. Yeah, pretty surreal moment.
Q. Now a first-time winner on the PGA TOUR in just three starts on TOUR. Are you surprised how quickly you found success out here?
MATT McCARTY: Yeah, quickly -- I knew if I played well this week after last week I would have a chance, but to do it like this, I don't know how you can kind of expect this, to be honest. I don't know. It's just a lot of fun and I've been working really hard and this year was great for me out there.
To get out here a little early was just like -- to get some experience was great and obviously this now. I mean, it's just been a crazy last few months for me. It's been a lot of fun.
Q. First-time winner out here. How do you think this changes your life going forward?
MATT McCARTY: I mean, financially for sure. I don't know. I'm just really excited for all the opportunities that come with this and everything. This is what I've wanted to do. To be able to do it this quickly, to be able to play in all these tournaments I'm going to be able to play in coming up is going to be really special, so I am just really looking forward to that.
