I've wanted this moment since I was a six-year-old walking around Wentworth [watching the BMW PGA Championship], so it's incredible.

I had a new putter in the bag this week and it worked really well. I'm just so happy. It's the British Masters next week and I'm looking forward to that.

It's a big win and it's going to be a special win for him here at the Old Course. I was 72nd on the Order of Merit, so I needed this to get into the last few events.
