I didn't want to win on his mistake, I wanted to make a birdie. To do it against Kaymer is incredible.

Me and my wife are moving from Abu Dhabi back to Sweden, with twins on the way. A lot of things are happening this year and this is just a part of it, but it means a lot.

I played well all week but not on the back nine today and that has cost me the tournament.
