I'm over the moon. I haven't won something big in a long time and it's one to definitely win for sure. I'm ecstatic. I cannot kind of comprehend my feelings right now.

I'm guessing South Africans like playing links golf. We kind of like being creative so I guess that flowed over into this Championship.

Christo played very solidly. He drives the ball unbelievably as we all know. So fair play to him, honestly, and congratulations.
