I think the course is in as good of shape as I've seen it in the last five years. You know the fairways are running a little bit and some holes are actually playing shorter than it's played in the last five years, purely because you get some run in the fairways.

I think my putting has been saving me all week, last week, too. But I'm trying to get comfortable on my driving.

Ernie played very well and I got away with it at the end there. It's great to win this trophy again. The last time was ten years ago so it's great to get my hands on it again.

It's just lucky for me the last two days that I have managed to get ahead very quickly and stay there and win by a big margin,

Everybody struggled, ... The course wasn't easy and, you know, I'm just lucky to be on top.
