It's a dream come true. I have to say that the French Open is obviously very important for me and for us, but after that, to win a tournament in Scotland is just something else.

I love it. Yeah, I love it, of course! I love rugby, and I just love hearing this sound. We wake up on Sundays and we hear it from the village.

Greg played very solid golf and I played very erratic golf. I made birdies and bogeys and he just played steady with solid pars and ultimately that won out in the play-off because he was just much more consistent.
