“To become the oldest so far to win out here, it’s not easy. It doesn’t matter what you do, it’s not easy,” he admitted. “There have been a lot of great players before me from Nicklaus to Palmer to Snead to Trevino and on and on you go, so I’ve been very blessed and fortunate to have gotten this far.”
