I know you wanted to win obviously but from all you’ve been through to to finish second to play the way you did on the weekend what are what are your emotions right now yeah um pretty excited obviously with where my game’s headed um you know I didn’t say anything all week but I

Uh sorry no no I uh I lost a family member on Thursday and um she was uh so she was with me all week um you know was a pretty um pretty special on Friday make the one in one um after sorry um it’s pretty special make the whole one

On Friday after I found out on Thursday um so she was with me all week wow what an emotional week for will zorus that’s the first that we learned about what was going on outside the ropes you would have never have guessed he was all smiles all week just having

The time of his life out there you never know what is going on behind the scenes with professional athletes how much respect have you got for him after hearing that oh that’s huge you know we we we see The Human Side of these guys when we see an interview like that um

Just did a a fantastic job of um compartmentalizing everything um as you say looked like he was having a ball out there all week and then we didn’t know that he was playing with a heavy heart yeah I can tell you it’s reported that he’s referring to his 16-year-old cousin

Um who he lost earlier in the week how difficult is it to compartmentalize and do exactly what you have just said and focus and put on such a terrific performance that we saw from the last four days from well it it is very difficult but sometimes you can use golf

As your outlet that’s your your five hours 6 hours whatever it is that you’re at the golf course where you’re you’re able to get away from everything else that’s going on and just sort of knuckle down and do what you need to do but um you know our condolences obviously go

Out to will zeelot Taurus and his family
