It's nice to finish it off, you never know when the next win is going to come and you start to question yourself.

All I could see was trees and water and a really tight lie. That's down to all of the hard work I've been doing at home on the chipping green.

I struggled a bit again with the putter today. So, it's all right. Right now I'm disappointed but probably tomorrow I will feel better.
