Memorble Streelman Comment:

In the media scrum following his inaugural TOUR win, Streelman was asked how he was able to stay so focused and what were the keys to his final round and to his victory? "I had very solid ball striking all week.(caddie) AJ and I kept it very simple. We just were picking targets and picking the right club and just swinging. It was letting go of results. We were meditating on a lot of Scripture together. We were singing together. We were having fun. That's when I play my best is when I'm just enjoying myself."
