| Quotable | "I hadn't been able to get the job done on the Champions Tour. I was close many times. I just wanted to be there in the end. And the way it worked out with that putt on 17 and then I played 18 really solid. To be able to win the tournament. It's very rewarding. It's a great place. It's a great venue. I enjoyed my week. And obviously to get a victory is even more special." -- David Toms |
