It was probably the best round of my career. It was a really good day, a really good week and I'm really happy.

To shoot nine under on the last day to win a golf tournament is incredible. I have been working a lot with my coach and with my team and I've been making some changes.

I did the best I could. Hats off to Fabrizio because he played great; 63 in the final round, most of the time that's going to get the job done, so I can't think too much about it.
