You know, the reason is that he did not take the awful chances he use to take when behind! He played conservatively for a change and won handily!
You’re right.
Not sure if you would call that shot from behind the tree and over the water by 3 ft conservative. I would say he quit playing conservative and trusted his game more than ever before.
That said, he had some amazing shots yesterday and today, off the charts. Winning w/birdie was icing.
