VOLVO WORLD MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIPOctober 16, 2014Mikko IlonenASH, KENT, ENGLAND Q. Graeme McDowell's 18th match in the World Match Play and only three people have beat him including you. How does that feel? MIKKO ILONEN: Good. I did tell people yesterday that I think I have a good chance winning this match. Yesterday and the day before yesterday, I started feeling a little bit better with my game, and I felt quite comfortable on the greens. Other than a couple of long putts I completely mis‑hit yesterday, so I knew if I just gave myself chances, there's plenty of birdies out there and I just need to make a couple more. Q. Having lost yesterday, seemed like you were intent on getting off to a fast start. What was going through your mind, 5‑under on the front nine? MIKKO ILONEN: I knew I needed to get off to a fast start. I knew Graeme was going to come at me hard, and he did. I needed to keep him making birdies. I needed to avoid mistakes and when I get a good birdie chance I need to make it like I did on 17. Q. Congratulations, your first win of the tournament, you must be pleased particularly knowing what a strong match‑play record your opponent had? MIKKO ILONEN: Yeah, definitely. I thought I had a good chance to win this match, if I keep playing like I did yesterday. I started off strong yesterday did exactly the same thing today, 5‑under on the front. So I figured that Graeme is going to come at me on the back nine, and he did.
