Q. The two putts you made coming in, 16 and 17, two big putts, long putts. What did you see on 16? How confident were you about that putt? And then great par-saving putt on 17 that got you into the playoff essentially.

JIN HEE IM: Yeah, 16 is really perfectly go where I'm thinking so really surprise, like this. I think 17 little lucky because I just really like it's go right to left, left to right, right to left, left to right, I just pick one thing and made it.

Q. When you make a couple of long putts like that and one like you said that was kind of lucky, do you start to think, well, maybe it's my day? Maybe I'm supposed to win?

JIN HEE IM: A little bit. (Laughter.) That's true.
