Sepp Straka On His Win
Reflecting on his win, Sepp Straka said, “I knew that if I just kept playing good golf, I would have a chance to be there. I’m sure this will probably help me out with the rankings a lot. So very grateful, and hopefully I can keep the good play going and keep getting some more points. It was a grind out there, but I trusted my game and stayed patient. The eagle on five really got me going, and I’m proud of how I handled the pressure down the stretch.”
