I guess I was thinking about Gleneagles after I finished, On that occasion I didn’t see anyone else finish because I was told no one could beat (me), but I was watching this time.

I enjoyed being in contention very much, If someone had said at the start of the week that I would be second then I would have been very happy.

I just played badly today, I didn’t make any putts. It is disappointing but I am sure I will have another chance.
