The 17th was by far the most intense hole I have ever played. When I saw his putt go by said to myself 'don't let it slip away, don't let it go to the 18th'.

I tend to get very high and my dad, who's a doctor, carried the bag for me. He talks me down and keeps me on a level keel.

I guess if you had told me at the beginning of the week that I would be runner-up I would have been delighted. Some you win and some you don't.
