Q. Congratulations on winning your second career title on The European Tour in dramatic style. How sweet is this moment?
ANDREA PAVAN: Yeah, it's amazing to be honest. I thought I had a chance starting the day, and then, you know, you just start well. I was playing very well coming into the week, and then I just hit a few kind of bad drives and it's always a little bit my Achilles' heel.
But I hit a very strong 3-wood, a good 2-iron, so I know my way around, and you know, this hole, it's not the best for me without driver. But yeah, I managed to make birdie and it's been amazing. I can't thank enough my sponsors, Callaway and Colmar; Callaway, for helping me out, it's been amazing to help me dial in every time.
Q. How satisfying a shot of that quality to close it out?
ANDREA PAVAN: It's great. I was just telling my caddie, you know, I was feeling kind of like the rush, and then I was like, okay, I'm out of position. Let's hit it close. You know, I had a little pitching wedge. Luckily I had a decent lie, but it just felt great and then it was really close and I was glad it was close.
Q. Describe the emotional roller coaster you've been on over the last hour and a half. You had to wait for the playoff and the diagram after the playoff and the ball looked like it was in the water, and not?
ANDREA PAVAN: Yeah, it's never easy, but you have to be ready. When I finished, I thought, at best, I have a playoff and I was happy, obviously. It's nice, a two-man playoff. I was in a playoff for the U.S. Open and it was five guys for one spot and that was tough. I 3-putted on the first and then you go home with nothing.
Here, I feel like at least at worse, you finish second. It's very satisfying to get the win. It's just so hard. It's so difficult. I can't believe where I was two years ago at this moment. I was really struggling, and I can't thank enough my coach, my caddie and my family and my wife. It's really amazing.
