I put myself under pressure, the last couple of days, as well, by saying I want to give him a headache. I've stepped up to the mark and I've shown him exactly what I'm about.

Hit a lot of good shots and a bit unlucky in the playoff. The lads hit two good shots and made birdies. I hit a great putt. Thought I made it. It just dived right at the end.
