What Did Jason Bohn Say?
Golfers often talk about the need to win twice rather than just the once – they don’t want to be thought of as one-hit wonders.
Bohn addressed the differences between the first and second win in his press conference.
“Well, it feels like number one because it’s been so long since number one,” he laughed. “Emotionally this one is different, completely different in the fact that I’ve had some injuries the past couple of years. I’ve had to sit out. I’ve had some back surgeries. I never knew if I was going to get back it to that level.
“So it’s impossible to say more special or less special, but (it is) completely different special. I went through a lot of adversity for the last couple of years trying to grind with my game. You know, to come out on top is awesome.
“So this is one I’ll never forget. I was telling my caddie as I walked down the walkway to go out on the green, I just said I probably won’t say much because I’m capturing all of this. I want to take this one to the grave. I want to remember every little detail that I missed in my first one.”
