From the papers

Winning here has boosted my confidence, after my 2002 accident, and I feel now I can play and win golf at the highest level.
BBC Sport

Obviously relief is the first word I'm looking for. I feel I am back and can cope with the pressure again.

I knew Haeggman had birdied the last and I needed an eagle to tie. However, the green wasn't reachable and I had to play up and try to hole my chip.

I'm not going to put my skates back on. I'm not even thinking about playing again.
The Independent (Mark Garrod)
15 March 2004
I'm very, very happy with five birdies and no bogeys today, but when I didn't birdie the 10th and 11th that pretty much cost me the tournament.
