Quick Quotes

Q. Josele, does it get better than that? 60, 12-under. Put it into words.

JOSELE BALLESTER: I don't think it gets better than that for sure. I don't know. I don't even know what to say honestly. It's been a fantastic day of golf. Putted amazing.

It's been hard for me the last few weeks putting. Didn't really feel comfortable. Tried different stuff the last days coming up to this event.

I saw this video yesterday on Instagram from Brad Faxon, how he kind of like set up to hit the putt and kind of tried to do that a little bit, just be a little less stand on top of the ball, more of just feel and hit the putt and do all the work before in the routine. And I guess it worked.

Q. You seem so calm out there. What was the mentality going into that final stretch?

JOSELE BALLESTER: Just keep the foot on the gas. Obviously didn't think about shooting below 60 until the last four holes. Made a huge par putt -- a huge par on 7. We made an initial mistake on that tee box, but I was able to make a nice up-and-down.

Then I made another up-and-down for birdie on 8. I wish I maybe hit it a little closer on the last. I was a little unlucky I was in between numbers and with the adrenaline on my form didn't help as well to hit a good wedge shot, but pretty happy with the way I stayed in it in the last few holes.
