Matt continued, “It’s meant the world”. “I’ve obviously won here twice now. I’m trying to get every tour event round here. To stay with them this week has made it so much more relaxing. There’s no pressure and I’ve loved every minute of it.” Among everyone who was elated at Matt’s victory, one person was definitely the happiest one out of everyone on the field.

He told Sky Sports, “It’s unbelievably emotional”. “I’m glad someone has got that giant monkey off my back.” “I knew he was good enough to win a major and this week he has played unbelievable and he’s not put his best, which is incredible really.” “He did my head in missing a few short putts,” he laughed. “He didn’t need to win by four. One was enough.”
