"I’m over the moon, walking down the last I didn’t really
know what the situation was but I saw the leaderboard and it was quite
overwhelming."

"I was really impressed with myself; I stuck to what was
best for me. I started with a birdie and normally I kind of get a little ahead
of myself and think hear I go, I can win this tournament. But it was definitely
too early to think that and I just kept going along making some birdies and
some nice par saves. The birdie on 17 made me feel really good, then walking
down 18 was great."

"The highlight was the 20 footer that I holed on 17 for birdie.
I knew I had to coast it down to make par to keep in it, not realising what was
going on, to hole it was a bonus."

"It takes a lot of pressure off, a trip to Q-School was on
the cards obviously so it’s taken that extra pressure off, I can plan out my
year now so we will go from there."
