My putter was shaking when I was standing over the putt to win the title. No Spanish player has ever won this title. This has to be the biggest win of my life.

George was magnificent. He knew all the best lines from the tee, into and on the greens.

Not many players get to the final of this twice, and even fewer twice in a row so I am proud that I got to the final again.
