I told everyone that I wanted to come out here and win: Win the and win The Race to Dubai and win the DP World Tour Championship, and I had it in my control this week.

I had that just kind of snap in the moment on 12, and very tough hole; was able to make birdie. Just seeing those couple good shots, seeing that putt go in, just kind of propelled what was to come.

I said, I thought if I shot 8-under, I might have a chance. And to be honest, if I had shot that, I think I would have had a chance really, but I think I'll be a couple light.
