The Northern Irishman said: “I’m proud of myself with how I responded today after the finish last night.
“I just had to remind myself that I played some really good golf, and I wasn’t going to let two bad holes dictate the narrative for the rest of the week.
“I was so frustrated because I played so well, and you can make these big numbers from absolutely nowhere on this golf course.
It was a good reminder last that you just have to have your wits about you on every single golf shot.
“Once I left the property, I tried to leave what had happened here. I rushed out of here to get home to see Poppy before she went to bed. It was nice to get to see her before she went to sleep.
“That’s something that I didn’t have a few years ago, to be able to get home take my mind off the golf a little bit.
“But yeah, I feel like I just did a good job of resetting. I’m proud of how I got back into it today.”
