My other daughter.
What’s the first thing you’re going to do to celebrate tonight?
I’ll turn it over to my wife. Mrs. Wright obliged and said, “We’re gonna party.“
What was the first turning point in the heads-up match?
I got in Brandon’s [Cantu]head a little. Cantu played his heart out, but got a little frustrated.
