It's difficult to describe how I feel, a little bit tired at the moment after nine holes of play-off but I’m really happy

I'm very happy to win again in Spain, especially at El Saler, because the last time I played here was with Severiano as a Captain for the Seve Trophy, and that means a lot to me.

My caddie said to me that it was like shooting penalties, and in the end one player has to win.
