On 18, we decided to play a little more conservatively and make sure we hit the fairway. I've been in that situation three or four times on this course. It wasn't easy, but I believed in my ability.

Miguel fought so hard and had some good chances coming in, 17 for eagle and 18 for birdie. I wasn't as good as probably the last 13 days, but we hung on and managed to pull through.

Ryder Cup years are always special for me. So hopefully we can make that team.
