Obviously delighted to get over the line. It was definitely a battle today. Didn't have my best stuff for the first 12 holes and then managed to find some of my best stuff.

Golf is a game of multiple skills and I used them all in the end this week. Just coming down the stretch there, to get the shots I did and make the putts I did was special.
