Oh, better than on the golf course to be honest. Yes, of course. It wasn't a perfect day at the beginning, but the score is enough and I'm winning and that's all.

I was putting a five- or six-metre putt for bogey and I knew that Stenson was 17-under. It was a key point on 15 green, a lovely putt.

Doesn't feel good if you 3-putt last, but still I had to give it a go.
