Quotes
"I've been out here long enough, this is my sixth year on Tour, and you just know that no-one's going to hand you a win," Schauffele said after winning the 2022 Travelers Championship.
"I was very aware of that and ready to birdie the last and I thought that was going to be to get in a play-off so I was just lucky it was to make me on top.I really think this was, in a small way, a big win for me mentally just because I sort of had to check myself.
"When you've been out here and things are going easy you just expect to play well all the time. Sometimes it's good to take a step back - and I thought I did that this week."
