Well now that uh that was uh one of the wins that I'll never forget. Um you know I had just come back after six months after back surgery. Uh and it was it was a long haul, I'm not gonna lie to you. It wasn't anything easy about it. I had to teach myself how to walk. Uh for s what was it, six weeks I was in the hospital in uh up in New York. And the last three weeks of those six I was walking, trying to walk, learn how to walk, pick my feet up. Um just do things. 'Cause they weren't sure after the the surgery that I had that I was going to be able to do that because there was a lot of nerve damage and stuff. But uh when I came back and I had practiced like uh a month before I'd got to Arnold's tournament, uh, and one, it proved to me that I was back. I said I can do this again, which was great, because you know, there's always uh anytime you have a major injury, there's always that doubt in a player's mind until you get back out and get the flow going again, and then uh eventually beating the best at what they do.

Whack down the fairway. It went smack down the fairway. Then it started to slice just smidge offline. It headed for two, but it bounced off nine. My caddy says long as you're still in the state, you're okay. Yes, it went straight down the middle, quite away.
