This is one of the most important moments of my life. I have longed for this victory for a long time -- to win this tournament in my own country.

The 16th was the key. I knew I was leading by two strokes and Carl holed a great putt for birdie. I knew I had to hole mine and luckily made a good putt.

I thought I handled myself well. I was a little nervous starting off but calmed down with a birdie on the first. He outplayed me today.
