It was howling off the mat (18th hole) and you need to hit a big hook. I got lucky pulling that off (twice) but the other guys didn't.

I've never won coming from behind or won in a play-off on the European Tour so that makes it more amazing.

You can't complain when you get into position to win but somebody makes a great birdie on the play-off hole to win.
