RIO GRANDE, PUERTO RICO
Q. Fabian, first of all, your thoughts of anguish with the title slipping away right at the end.
FABIAN GOMEZ: It's okay. I was doing well, really close to finishing first. On that final hole I hit a good drive off the tee, but followed that with a poor 3‑iron and it cost me big. I had a very bad lie there and it was a difficult shot, and I was unable to pull it off.
But that's golf. You never know what may happen. I had to make birdie for sure at the last because I knew he was going to make birdie as well. I only needed to hit the middle of the fairway with that 3‑iron and I would be safe. But it was enough club, but I hit it poorly.
Q. What was the big factor? Did something change in your game today? Was there too much pressure?
FABIAN GOMEZ: Yeah. A little bit of pressure. In addition to that the pin positions were a little tougher, so it was harder. Everything plays on a windy course, and I didn't play the putter well.
Q. Finally, your thoughts on your best finish on TOUR, tied for second.
FABIAN GOMEZ: Yeah. A runner‑up finish counts, but obviously I wanted to win. I was pointing at that. It was not possible this time, but I will keep working towards that first career win on TOUR. Next time I get in this position it will be different for sure.
