The 25-year-old revealed the reason behind the message in an interview on Tennis Channel. He said that his freshly shaved look was purely due to his mom wanting him to get rid of his beard. "I usually keep the play-off beard all the way through the end of a tournament, even through the end of the whole swing. But my mom has actually been on my a** about it. Last night, she was telling me to shave the beard, so I did it for her," he said. "And that's why I signed it a the end, I said 'hey mom' just so she knew," he added.
