From the papers

In nine years of coming here, I always felt that I might be able to sneak a win. I was in a good frame of mind all week and my course management was good.

My mother's side is Scottish and my father's side is Irish but I am proud to be a Zimbabwean. You can't take the bush out of me.

I'm never one to count my chickens before they are running, but it was a great round of golf. We all know this is a course that treats players with no respect.
