At the post-round presser after the Sunday round, Rocco Mediate dedicated his win to his nine-year-old daughter Francesca. He said, “Amazing. Like I said it was for the little one. Gets her a little trophy which is cool just to win anything, and this is one of our best events for sure.”
Speaking about the playoff with Estes, he also added, βI expect that. You expect that. I even told Pete, to expect this to go in, and it did. To make that one, I mean, I don’t know what you can call it, just read it a little offside right and it moved. I hit it. That’s what it did. It was never going to be short. The putts in regulation I hit exactly like I wanted.”
