The last couple of holes were unbelievable. The second shot of the last hole was an unbelievable shot. For me, the best shot of the week.

I am gutted. I just hung in there all day and hit a couple of bad shots, but apart from two tee shots I didn’t really miss a shot today.

My putting has been so good all week and it’s just a shame that it let me down at the last – I didn’t want to go back up the 18th.
