From the papers

I've waited a long time for this win. There have been a lot of disappointments and near misses but I felt I just had to be patient and it would eventually happen.

I was going to take the week off but I'm glad I decided to come. I now have the confidence for the rest of the year and the Ryder Cup.

It was a good round of golf - definitely in my personal top 10.
