fought front horribly wrong
It just all went horribly wrong for me on the front nine. I fought back well but it was not enough in the end.

I've achieved what I want to achieve today and put myself past a lot of the other challengers.
chance defend win
To get a chance to come back and defend your first win is something you only get one chance of doing.
allowed freed golf
Because of that I freed up a little and allowed myself to play the golf I can.
asian cannot chance chasing european good guy harder leader might player plenty pressure pushing score stop time tour won
There is still plenty of time to get back into it, but I am making it harder for myself than I need to. There is a good chance if the leader is a guy who hasn't won before, especially if it is an Asian player chasing a European Tour exemption, it might put enough pressure on him to stop him pushing on and getting to a score I cannot reach.
good start
It was a good start considering I didn't play that great.
best good playing rounds
It was a good score. I am not playing at my best unfortunately but to have no bogeys in two rounds is very pleasing.
chance defend great means
It's great to defend your first (career) win. You only get one chance and it means a lot to come back here.
beaten played pulled simple team
It's disappointing. We should have beaten them, simple as that. We played better. One of those things. But at least the team has pulled it back.
dream great love playing puts second shape sunday tiger
This puts me in great shape for the second round. I love to play well when Tiger is playing ? I haven't had many chances. To play with him Sunday would be a dream scenario.
birdie catch knew needed saw
I saw what happened, yes, and I knew I needed a birdie at the 18th to catch him, but it wasn't to be.
decent played shame
I played pretty decent and it was a shame about the end,
certainly pleased
I'm certainly pleased with the way I'm playing.
good playing
I am playing well and I feel good in myself,
