From the papers
The Herald (Glasgow), quoting Sky Sports Golf
31 March 2019
I was quite calm, to be honest, and I then hit my drive out of the middle and I thought, ‘you know what on this golf course with the weather and the wind swirling, I could stay in touch’.

It was brilliant having Jack on the bag and he’s great, as well. He’s a good caddie. A top lad. He’s quite chilled, so nothing really bothers him.
