Quick Quotes

Q. This is the one you wanted to win. Other than the majors you always said, I want to come here on the golf course, Travelers Championship. You did it. What's to feel like?

Today was a day I'll remember for the rest of my life.

Q. 5-under, cruising along, and then a little tee shot right at 13. Things got a little squirrely there.

KEEGAN BRADLEY: It did. I wasn't hitting that bad of shots. I didn't hit a great shot on 13, but that's how those holes are. Like you know you can make -- you can birdie them and you can bogey them all.

I just luckily played good enough to where I could afford -- that's my only bad stretch of the tournament, and luckily I was ahead enough.

Q. And I thought the crucial shot, that tee shot at 17 was beautiful.

Q. We've said all week how you wanted this so much and that was going to be a big challenge for you today, putting that aside. How were you able to focus in on the golf as opposed to how much you wanted to walk away with that win?

Q. There were some tough moments on the back nine. Take us through what you were thinking about over some of those moments.

I hit incredible shots on 17 and that was the key.

They've sort of been my good luck charm. They keep me calm, and it's an incredible feeling. I can't believe it's real.
