behind good guys knew moving needed round shooting
I knew I had to go out and play a good round and make it mine. Guys are shooting 61 and 64 from behind you, so I needed to keep it moving forward.
chasing desire emotional focused gets hopefully instead ready stay wait win
I'm ready and I can't wait to win. But you can't let that desire to win take over and you can't get too emotional about it. You just have to play shot-for-shot and stay focused and hopefully that win just gets in your way instead of chasing it.
It's not a young man's game, necessarily. I think we're all on schedule.
behind eligible european force join obviously onto tour
I'm going to join the European tour as of the end of the season. That'll make me eligible for the Ryder Cup, but then I'll obviously have to play fantastically well to force my way onto the team. I'll be a little behind the guys, but if you play well ... you can do it.
attitude believed pull quit
I'm disappointed, but there were a lot of positives. My attitude was good. I never quit and didn't let go, always believed I could still pull it off.
best friday lead might saturday sleeping
I had the lead the best part of Friday and Saturday and I'm comfortable with it on Sunday. So I might as well have it now. Sleeping on it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
chance enjoying expect ourselves separated somebody time win year
I'm very happy. This is the first time I've had a chance to win this year and I'm enjoying it. We separated ourselves a little bit, but somebody always makes a run, so you have to expect that.
helped learned miles million point thinking until winning
I?ve learned it?s a million miles from winning the tournament, and I think that has helped me. Obviously, there?s no point thinking about winning until Sunday. It can only get in your way until then.
certainly european feels four halfway lead stage won
I?ve had the lead and, obviously, I?ve won four times (on the European PGA Tour). It feels like I haven?t been there in a while and certainly to lead by 4 at the halfway stage is a little different.
bogey felt fight grind mentally point saying slow sort start worry
I try to make a point of saying to myself, 'Well listen, it's out of the way. Now you don't have to worry about not making a bogey now. I got off to a slow start and felt sort of mentally I had to grind my way and fight my way back into it.
friend fun
Ben's a friend of mine. It'll be a fun day.
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.
