"I rolled the rock better than I have done in my life. I hit shot games shots I never hit in my life, I hit my irons great, I hit my driver down the fairway and I struggled to finish 15th. That's how good these guys on the tour are. That's 14 guys still beat me, and I brought my A+ game all around. So, that's why I'm not on the PGA Tour".
