I thought I had it all pretty much under control and to be honest I got pretty nervous on the last couple of putts on the regular 18(th). I was more calm in the playoff than I was on 18.

To be honest I was thinking especially during the last nine or 10 holes about Celia Barquin, she passed away a few years ago. I was good friends with her family and this is for her.
