What did Michael Brennan say after winning the Bank of Utah Championship?

Michael Brennan opened up on his success at the Bank of Utah Championship during an interview at the Black Desert Golf Course. Brennan told the PGA Tour that he felt amazing after the victory and mentioned that he drew inspiration from his family, friends, and caddie. His words were:

“It feels amazing. I get that belief from my family and friends, my team. I mean, Jeff Kirkpatrick, my caddie, believes in me I think more than anyone, maybe other than my parents. He told me ever since we played a great year, ‘We're not going to the Korn Ferry Tour.’ Whether it was, I don't know, through something like this or Q-School. I can't believe he's right.”

Michael Brennan continued that after the recent PGA Tour win, he was able to focus on his game better. He added that the technical aspects of his game had become more polished.

“A lot of mental maybe fortitude or focus has gotten a lot better. Definitely been some technical things that have improved a lot around the green and on the green. I think that showed this week. Feel like I was pretty good around the greens. But a lot of belief in my game that I'm capable…I feel like I’ll definitely be more prepared for this weekend after having those experiences,” Brennan said.
