Mac Meissner spoke to the media after his runner-up finish at the Wyndham Championship, where he was asked:
– How does it feel to get a solo 2nd on the PGA Tour?
– What clicked in your game this week to create this success?
– Does this make the next few weeks a little easier for you?
– What’s it like following your brother who has been playing well on the KFT?
Oh man, it feels good. I, you know, it’s been a it’s been a rough season and um it just feels really good to see some uh hard work pay off and um I’m just really proud of the team I have around me and for sticking with me through the the tough tough part of the year and um yeah, it feels like I kind of won the tournament inside the tournament. So, um really happy. I mean, it definitely uh makes my season a little bit easier, which is which is really nice. So, um, yeah, I’m just really happy right now. I mean, to be honest, it’s my, uh, the last two weeks has been my mental game. I, uh, brought a new caddy on the bag, uh, at 3:00 a.m. last week, and, uh, man, we just did a really good job of just trying to stay present and, um, just trying to stick to making really committed swings and nailing our process really well and letting the results come. And obviously, they they came. So, um, man, I’m just really proud. It’s I was uh I was really struggling earlier in the year with kind of letting things bother me and um stuff that I couldn’t control, letting that letting that kind of ruin uh kind of tarnish some of my uh days that could have been a lot better. So um I’m just really proud of the work that I’ve done with my mental coach and um my family. Everyone sticking with me, trying to lift me up during the tough times, knowing that uh we are going to push through it. Absolutely. Yeah, I mean, I think I’ll definitely need to grind a little bit, but um it definitely makes my job a little bit easier for the fall, which is all I all I wanted to do these these last two weeks of the season. Obviously, I wasn’t expecting it a solo two, but that definitely makes it a lot easier. Oh, I mean, to be honest, that’s been the biggest motivation of of of all of it. I mean, to know that he would be out here next year and I might not be was kind of pushing me to uh play some good golf to end the season. I’m I mean, he’s worked his butt off and I’m so proud of him for the work that he’s done and uh for putting himself into a pretty good position to finish off the year strong. See him out here this year, next year. Do you like years old.
