I felt like I've done all my high end, I've done PGA tour events, I've done Open qualifying, I've done all those really high-end competitions. I've gotten up at three o'clock in the morning, gone in and done that, and then gone back in at four o'clock in the afternoon. I'm at the stage where I really want to take something with a lot of potential and help it reach its potential.
