One of the goals of the day for me was to stay patient. I knew I was beginning to run out of holes as I tried to catch Eduadro but I played 17 and 18 very well.

Eduardo played great and it is a shame there had to be a loser but I've been there before

I am obviously on a high at the moment. Next week I'll be exhausted.
