Although going into the event as a defending champion will be something new to me, naturally coming back to the place where I won my maiden Tour victory will remain close to my heart until the day I die, |
As a country I found it to be superb and I feel that by playing the co-sanctioned events it is good for everybody concerned, |
I am just more focussed. He had got me not to give in, to keep going until the last, |
I think the fact that I was comfortable with how I was playing and the fact I was able to compose myself all the way through the final two rounds was the biggest thing that helped me win, |
I'm in a very confident mood after a good result last week, |
If I play well, I'll have a chance, ... I think there are so many players here who can win anyway. If it's your week, you need a few things to go your way. |
Ireland however came down to a test of nerve and without a doubt, the experience of winning in China gave me the inner belief to go on and lift the title, |
It was the best rain I've ever watched, |
It would have been nice to have won over four days but we'll take winning over three days. |
It would have been nice to play 72, but at the end of day a win is a win whether it's 54 or not, ... We obviously played the best golf up until now. |
It's changed things around hasn't it? |
Last year's victory in Shanghai has certainly changed things around, |
My form so far hasn't been great but your year is based on the whole season and not the first month or two. |
Those individual circumstances just happened to be back-to-back. |
