 And now it is my honor to present the gold medal and this magnificent trophy to the 40th U.S. Senior Open Champion, Steve Stricker. Steve, congratulations. Talking with all the guys as they came off, they said they would have had one heck of a battle if it wasn't for you out here. Was it as easy as it seemed this week? Not at all. It was a challenge, especially today. When you come out with a six-shot lead, you have everything to lose and really nothing to gain. I played that way today. I played very cautiously trying not to make a mistake, and this game is hard when you play that way. I really didn't have the freedom like I had the first three days, and rightfully so. I'm trying to win this tournament and I'm happy that I did. You had the stumble at ten, great up and down at eleven, and then you chip in at twelve. It seemed like you caught some of that freedom that you were talking about right at that moment. That was another one where I'm like, do not miss this to the left. The pins tucked over there in the left-front corner, and I'm like, okay, you can get it up and down anywhere right. I hit it over there, and I wasn't that upset with the shot. I told my wife, I'm still looking for that chip in. She's like, I am too. We kind of called that one a little bit, but that was one I definitely needed because Jerry was starting to play a little bit better. I could tell he had some momentum, and he was hitting some shots in there closer, and he cut it to five at one point after ten. When you see any of your lead disappear, you start to get a little nervous, and I was there too, so that chip in was huge. You've been playing USGA events your whole life. A junior amateur, the amateur, you competed in 21 U.S. Opens. You mentioned you've got your wife, Nikki, on the bag. Your daughters are here. You finally capture a USGA championship. What does this one mean to you? Trying to get me to cry, aren't you? Well, you said it. There's been a lot of years trying to win one of these, and to get this gold medal and trophy in a USGA event means a lot. Congratulations. The 40th US Senior Open Champion, Steve Stricker.
