I knew when the qualification ended I needed to play better so luckily I'm in good form now. I just wish the team all the best and hopefully they can win.

It was hard work down the last. I didn't have the start I wanted today with two bogeys to start with. The two shot-lead I had was wiped out and I knew it was going to be a tough day.

Joost hung in there well and made a great par on 17 and a great par on the last, so fair play to him. He's a worthy winner.
