Quotes
 
"Making a 6 on one left a sour taste in my mouth. Then you drain a 35-, 40-footer on two and it's like, `OK, it's all right. This is a silly game, so just keep playing," Van Rooyen said after winning the 2023 World Wide Technology Championship.
 
"Things just turned on the back nine. Great birdie on 10, almost holed it on 11, beautiful 13-, 14-footer on 12, left-right breaker in the heart and you're off and running. Just hung in there and made some awesome putts on 16, 17 and 18."
