« Tomorrow, I’m just going to play my own game, see what happens. I’ve been in this position before and I could not finish it off. I shot 61 around here before, I think it’s still the course record, it’s still a goal of mine to try to break that anyway, I still have one more day to try and do it » he concluded.
