Brendan Steele Wins LIV Adelaide Individual Title

Brendan Steele spoke to the media after clinching the individual title at LIV Golf Adelaide

yeah I mean this is really surreal I was
I was telling you on the the ride over
I’m pretty overwhelmed but um to to win
this event is really special and um I
can’t say enough good things about the
fans and the golf course and the whole
experience this week yeah I mean I I
lean on Phil pretty hard with everything
with you know how to hit shots around
the green with how to approach things I
mean he’s one of the best players ever
and he can give me advice um if he’s
going to give me advice I’m going to
take it you know so I I definitely want
to listen to him and and he’s helped me
a ton with everything from wedge play
short game mental game um just
instilling confidence in myself and um
he’s a big reason why I’m sitting up
here yeah I was paying attention I
always do um I had a bad experience not
paying attention when I was younger
thinking that I had a chance to win and
I didn’t and and kind of made some
mistakes uh with that so I definitely
pay attention I want to know what kind
of strategy we need to do like on on 17
for instance like I can hit driver off
that tea if we need a birdie but I don’t
want to so um so I didn’t um but I
definitely wanted to know where I was
yeah it that was pretty wild I
mean I was terrified over that wed shot
to be honest because it’s like I it’s a
really tough shot I need to get it over
the tier but not go into the back bunker
and um you know I’ve got I don’t know
10,000 fans in the Fairway kind of right
on top of me and so um fortunately all
the work that I put in over the
offseason uh with Phil and his backyard
and um all the help that he’s given me
it really paid off with that shot
specifically he he was talking to me
about um he was like how are you feeling
you know what what are you thinking and
I said well if if I can play freely like
I did the last couple days like I feel
like I’ll have a good chance and he was
like okay that’s great he’s like let’s
reframe it you know let’s make it when I
play freely I can play freely I will
play freely like that let’s reframe it
into that and then uh you know I was
saying like and then I think it’ll be
good enough and he’s like no no no it
will be good enough you will play freely
this is what you need to do and so that
was what I was trying to do yeah I mean
he he was just telling me how proud he
is of me and how he knew this was coming
and he thinks it’s going to set off a
lot of really good things for me so um
just for him to have that belief in me
is is really great I mean he’s the
reason that I’m here and and the reason
that I’m improving you know at to be
honest I mean I’m 41 years old and I’m
getting better so and it’s mostly
because of him so it’s uh it’s really
great yeah yeah we wanted to get one on
the board um you know we always talk
about getting all four guys to win
individually um and you know getting one
is a start and and getting on the podium
this week is a start for us and and it’s
a good result and we’re excited to to
have a little fun tonight and then to
reset for next week cuz we definitely
want to have a chance to win Singapore
