VICTORY BY ONE SHOT. AFTER HE FINISHED UP AND AFTER HE POSTED THAT 10TH VICTORY XANDER SCHAUFFELE SPOKE WITH THE MEDIA. >> I MEAN I WAS PLENTY NERVOUS. IT WAS THE FIRST, IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I WAS EVEN, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT WINNING A GOLF TOURNAMENT. SO, I WAS PROBABLY JUST AS NERVOUS OR MORE NERVOUS AS THEY WERE JUST BECAUSE I KNEW I HAD DONE IT BEFORE AND I HAD TO DIG DEEP IN MY MEMORY TO DO IT AGAIN. AND WE WERE 15. 15, 16 HOLES MAX HELD OUT ON THE LAST HOLE. IT IS VERY SATISFYING WIN. THEY ARE GREAT PLAYERS. >> A COUPLE MILESTONES, 10TH CAREER. AND TRYING TO MAKE IT SPECIAL. TO VISIT MY GRANDPARENTS AND IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO. I CAN’T WAIT TO BRING MY SON HERE WHEN HE IS OLD ENOUGH TO SORT OF UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE THE CULTURE HERE IN JAPAN. SO, YEAH, YOU KNOW, THE TIES RUN DEEP FOR THE XANDER SCHAUFFELE FAMILY HERE IN JAPAN. >> XANDER, CONGRATULATIONS. A SUCCESSFUL YEAR LAST YEAR. THIS YEAR, INJURIES AND THEN NOT BEING ABLE TO WIN UNTIL TODAY. WERE THERE ANY DOUBTS IN YOUR MIND OR WERE YOU CONFIDENT YOU WOULD GET BACK TO WINNING? >> I WAS CONFIDENT. DEFINITELY HAD DOUBTS. I THINK EVERY PLAYER IN ANY SPORT AT SOME POINT IN TIME YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE ON TOP OF THE WORLD AND THEN YOU FEEL LIKE, NOT THAT YOU LOST IT BUT YOU FEEL LESS CONFIDENT. SO, I HAVE A REALLY GOOD TEAM AROUND ME. THEY PICK ME UP WHEN I AM DOWN. YOU KNOW, IT IS JUST REALLY SPECIAL FOR ME. SOONER THAN I THOUGHT TO BE FAIR. I WAS RUNNING OUT OF EVENTS IN 2025 TO PUT MY MARK ON IT. I AM SURE WHEN I LOOK BACK ON 2025, AT THE END OF MY CAREER I WILL SMILE AND THINK IT IS A GREAT YEAR. >> THE BODY OF WORK IS GETTING MOST IMPRESSIVE, INDEED. 10TH PGA TOUR WIN. 200 CAREER START. HE IS THE 119th PLAYER TO REACH 10 WINS ALL-TIME ON THE PGA TOUR AND FIRST WIN FOR XANDER IN HIS LAST 20 STARTS. CONVERTED FOUR OF THE LAST SIX TIMES WITH THE 54 HOLE LEAD OR CO-LEAD. JIM, WE KNOW A WINS IS A WIN, HOW MUCH IS THIS VICTORY ABOUT SETTING THE TABLE FOR ALL THAT IS TO FOLLOW? >> IT IS A COMBINATION OF THAT BUT WINNING IN FRONT OF HIS GRANDMOTHER. HIS 81-YEAR-OLD GRANDMOTHER WALKING THE FIELD AND HIS GRANDFATHER IS 91. JAPAN, A SECOND HOME WITH HIM WITH HIS FAMILY. I THINK IT IS — I THOUGHT IT WAS HONEST TO HIM TO SAY I HAD DOUBTS. I THINK ANY TIME YOU HAVE AN INJURYO HAVE NOT WON IT CREEPS IN EVEN ON THE GREATEST PLAYERS ON EARTH THEY ALL HAVE THAT. ONE THING HE DID, HE WORKED REALLY HARD ON HIS PUTTING, I THINK THAT MADE A BIG PAYOFF WHEN HE LOOKED AT THE PUTTING, DID NOT MISS IT. HIT 80% OF THE FAIRWAYS IN THE WEEK. 75% OF THE GREENS OF REGULATION, BALL STRIKING WE KNOW IT IS ALWAYS THERE. DROVE IT BETTER THAN HE REALLY HAS THIS SEASON. SET HIM UP FOR GREAT IRON SHOTS, BUT MADE SERIOUS LENGTH OF PUTTS, RIGHT NOW, A GREAT WAY TO END THE SEASON FOR HIM
