“A truly special win over in Japan with all my extended family, and as a new dad. Returning to the winners’ circle feels good, and I can’t wait to continue competing. Thank you, @baycurrentclassic for hosting a world-class event, and to all the fans in Japan, thank you for your continued support.”

After the tournament on Sunday, the American golfer shared his feelings in a press conference. He said, via Tee Scripts:

“Still processing. Yeah, it was a very strange week with the weather I think just for everybody. It's been a while since we've sort of battled the elements of no wind to a lot of wind to rain all day, back to no wind. Just proud of Austin and I hung in there all day knowing that it was going to take a low one. "I've been coming here since I was about 9 years old to visit my grandparents. I sort of fell in love with this country a long time ago. I can't wait to bring my son here when he's old enough to sort of understand and appreciate the culture here in Japan.”
