“I kept telling myself that I was still in there,” Leonard said. “I think my best golf is in front of me. I hit the first 10 holes. Eleven holes and the finish is good, but that’s not me The best golf ball. I kept telling myself that I only had the last seven holes once I had a little motivation, I felt I could ride it.”
