    Final Round Quick Quotes: Russell Henley


    Q. Just an amazing win this week for you.

    RUSSELL HENLEY: Yeah, yeah, it really was. A lot of these events that I haven't come through on, like I was telling Todd earlier, just means so much more. I tried to learn from those situations where I didn't get it done and didn't come through down the stretch, just tried to keep working on my game and keep practicing hard and keep believing that I can do it. Took a little longer than I wanted, but I've been playing some good golf for a few years and it's nice to get a W.

    Q. And it's different when it's a six-shot lead. I can imagine the last 24 hours were interesting in terms of just blinders, strategy and just going out there and taking care of business?

    RUSSELL HENLEY: Yeah, it's tough. I don't sleep well on a lead. I need a lot more practice. I have no idea how Tiger did this 80-some times. It's tough for me just to kind of calm down. You definitely don't feel the same as when you're practicing at home, but that's the fun of it, that's why we play. We want to see what we're made of out here and get tested under pressure.

    Q. What were those calming moments for you today? What was the key to you in that round? The bogey at 5, but you hop right back at 6. What were some of the moments that kind of stand in your mind as to what helped you get it across the finish line?

    RUSSELL HENLEY: Yeah, I mean, I kind of had it in my mind today I needed to get under par, for sure. I figured that somebody would shoot a low one and so, you know, making a bogey on 6, I kind of got a mud ball and just misplayed it with my hybrid and ended up missing a short putt. Just kind of a disappointing way to start the day because I hit every shot really nice and gave myself a lot of birdie putts before that.

    Andy just said, just shake it off and let's just keep doing what we're doing. And hit a great drive on the next hole and kind of felt like I can do this, I can keep playing well, that's just one hole. So it was nice to come back from that.

    Q. Easy to say these weeks are a springboard of something. You thought you were going to have this moment many times over the last couple weeks, but what can this week do for you moving forward?

    RUSSELL HENLEY: Yeah, I mean, I hope just keep giving me confidence. It's just so hard to get in contention out here, first part, and then to close it out, it's a really hard deal. I feel like it gets harder every year. I'm just going to try to just pull from the fact that when I didn't feel super comfortable and I had a lead that I executed and I got it done.
