That was tough, that was really tough. Of all my wins I'd say that was definitely the most difficult. I didn't have my A game today, despite loving this place I just didn't play my best today.

Me and Alistair agreed, 'just go out and try and win it, don't hope that the other guy doesn't play too well'. That's what we did

I've played well here the last couple of years and it's really good week, a lot of positives. It hurts right now but I'm sure after a glass of red wine tonight it'll feel a lot better.
