From the papers

BBC Sport

It does not make up for not having the Ryder Cup - that's a shame we're not playing it next week - but it's nice to win my last tournament in Europe this year.

I was struggling with my swing the whole day. I missed a lot of fairways. Sergio played very well coming in and that is what won him the tournament.
