Watney on Smith:
"Dustin is one of two guys who came back this year dramatically improved over last year. It is obvious to see that Dustin has been serious about improving his swing and has worked hard to bring his game to the next level. The best thing though is his improved confidence. Dustin sees now that he hits it as good or better than virtually everyone he plays with. He has also stepped up his short game. That was evident when he won the San Joaquin Match Play Championship this summer. He had to go under par to win and now he knows he can take it deep at times and keep it there."
