I?ve never had a legitimate chance to win here (in the United States), ... I?ve had a few top-fives, but I felt like I?ve never really had a grasp of the lead or a real chance to win. This is my first go at it, I feel, and, hey, I?m looking forward to it.

I've learned this is a course you have to give a little bit of respect to.
bogey fact felt kept pleased reach situation
I was never in a situation where I couldn't reach the green, so I felt that was what I did well today. I think I'm probably more pleased about the fact that I've kept a bogey off my card, than 12 birdies.

I am hoping I can turn my form around as it is a lifelong ambition of mine to represent Europe in the Ryder Cup. The first European Tour event I will play in is the South African Open, but in the meantime I will be trying to improve my world ranking as that's another way of qualifying.
bad ball bit felt frame great hit large minor mistake obviously range
I am still shell-shocked, to be honest. I felt in a great frame of mind, hit the ball beautifully on the range and just got off to a bad, bad start. Every minor mistake got punished. That's obviously what Augusta is all about. It bit back in a large way today.

I felt like I sort of mentally had to grind my way and fight my way back into it, ... I had to work hard, and I?m pretty pleased to come out on top still.

I felt like I was going along nicely until I got the bogey and double. That was a kick in the teeth. I had to regroup. I was very happy to only be two shots behind.

I feel like I'm hopefully really on the verge of breaking through here. It would make the last two years that I spent over here pointless to go back to Europe full time this year.
chance honest lead time win
To have the lead for so long this week, it?s disappointing not to have won, ... But if I?m going be honest with myself, it?s really the first time I?ve had the chance to win this year.
