Q. You didn't make a bogey until No. 10. You had a pretty good stretch there.
TOMMY ARMOUR III: I didn't make a bogey for my last 18 either. I had a little longer stretch than that. My bogey was a 3-putt. I completely misread the putt on 10.
I just played really solid golf, hitting a lot of good solid shots. I mean, the ball was going where I was aiming all week. I was picking out targets, I didn't shoot at a lot of pins unless I had an 8-iron or less. I hit at my targets all week and I made putts.
Q. Bob Tway hadn't won in eight years. He said after he won this summer it did a lot for his confidence. Do you anticipate it doing the same for you?
TOMMY ARMOUR III: It has to help your confidence. Yeah. It's certainly going to help my confidence.
Q. Your grandfather was noted for doing some legendary things in the game of golf. Do you think this would even impress him, what you did this week?
TOMMY ARMOUR III: Hopefully it would have impressed him. My dad died in March this year, and he had a goatee, a mustache, for five years and he said he was going to shave it when I win my next tournament, and he can shave it now.
Q. A lot of friends came in to see your final round.
TOMMY ARMOUR III: I had 25 people come down from Dallas today. They drove, flew, and buses. I have a lot of good friends in Dallas and we have a lot of fun there together, and I'm really glad they came today. It helped a lot and meant a lot.
Q. Where is the party tonight?
TOMMY ARMOUR III: Bernaise in Dallas. They are a keeping the restaurant open for me as long as I want tonight. They've already made the call down.
Q. I asked a couple of players this question earlier. I'll ask you, how do you explain a guy who hasn't won 13 years and has struggled a lot this year and then comes and sets the all-time PGA Tour scoring record?
TOMMY ARMOUR III: I was thinking about that last night laying in bed before I went to sleep. I said, where in the hell did this come from. I don't know. I guess they call it "in the zone" or whatever. I've always felt I've underachieved for the talent I have since I've been on the Tour. I always have a lot of friends and I've spent a lot of time with them. I take it serious, but it's not the end all. I enjoy being around my friends and my son and my brother and all the people that I know all over the world.
You only get one trip around life. Golf is just it's something that I love to do. I don't play for the money, I never have. I play it because I love it. It's just something I love to do. I was blessed with the talent to do it and so -- I mean, I've never played for the money. I honestly know that in my heart. A lot of guys play for the money. You can tell in the way they are, too. I love going to tournaments and seeing friends and playing golf and having everyone come out and watch me play, all over the country. I've made a lot of good friends through golf over the last 22 years playing golf professionally.
Q. In addition to the obvious talent that you have, you must be very satisfied with the adjustments that you have made in the last couple, three months to your swing.
TOMMY ARMOUR III: You never know if they're going to work. I've made a lot of adjustments and played worst.
Q. This must be satisfying for you.
TOMMY ARMOUR III: Yes, it's satisfying. I knew it was satisfying because I was starting to like it on film. When I start to like my swing on film, I know I'm on the right track.
JOAN v.T. ALEXANDER: Thank you, Tommy, for joining us, and congratulations again.
