It's funny – the other win in 2000 felt like yesterday! It's amazing because it's such a hard job to beat everyone because everyone is so good. It just feels amazing – I cannot tell you how happy I am.

I'm just so pleased for my parents – they put in so much when I was young. I've got two children that just want to see their dad win, I'm speechless, it's phenomenal.

It can turn around so quickly. I felt calm all week and I found something with my putting which obviously made a massive difference.
