Q. (Inaudible)?

HEATH SLOCUM: Money-wise either. If you go off the FedExCup, you go off of the big win, yes. It's weird to classify years in my opinion because I've had more consistent years with no wins. But at the same time I think everyone's goal out here is to win. So if you win a tournament you have to call it not only a successful year but somewhat kind of a good year.

Q. You just didn't win?

HEATH SLOCUM: It was a big tournament. It was a playoff event. And with that, with that win comes a lot of extra benefits that cannot only turn you around, but it also could jump start. It gets me in all of the tournaments next year that could make a great year.

Q. The invitations you mean?

HEATH SLOCUM: All of the Majors and a couple of World Golf events.

Q. So you are in the Majors, everything?

HEATH SLOCUM: I'm in every major outside of the PGA event. I'm in the PGA just off the money alone, from the Money List, how it goes from year-to-year. The FedExCup doesn't get me in it.

Q. So the win would have got you The Masters, winning gets you in the Masters?

HEATH SLOCUM: Winning gets you in the Masters. But, obviously, if you get in THE TOUR Championship, you get into the U.S. Open and the British. Like I said, I think from the money, I'm going to get into the PGA.

Q. When you think back to that tournament and winning that tournament, how cool was it?

HEATH SLOCUM: Fantastic.
