Quotes
“It is hard. Wire-to-wire, having the lead for so long that it’s just hard not to think about that fine line all week," Poston said after winning the John Deere Classic.
"I tried to stick to the game plan. I was just trying to breathe. I was really. I think there were a lot of nerves, a lot more than the first few days. I was just battling through them.
"I think after today, after this week, I feel like knowing I can play with those nerves and I can still win, still shoot a solid score considering the pressure and trying to win out here.”
