I hope this impresses Seve, but I thought my win last year would impress Bernard Gallacher. It is just nice to win one of the big tournaments in Europe against one of the best fields.

I opened the door for Jesper and he walked straight through. But all credit to him. I have not changed my mind about him since Sweden. We cannot go to Valderrama, cannot, cannot go to Valderrama without him.

I am only one behind, I'm confident and I'm looking forward to retaining my title.
