 There was a glare, the sun was still coming up, and … I couldn't see. You could just hear it. I didn't know if it hit the pin and went long or what happened. And then, obviously the crowd let me know what was going on.

 If I could [explain it ] I wouldn't be here, ... Trust me, I've been off for a long time and had a lot of sleepless nights trying to think of things but you know what? It happened.
