It was a long winter sitting at home with a cast on my wrist getting frustrated and just wanting to be out here playing and competing.

I felt that if I could beat 68 today I would have an outside chance and obviously things went my way and 67 was good enough.

I have been working so hard, so I deserved a victory. But you never know when they are going to come so you take them when you can.
