Quick Quotes

Q. Not the way you would have liked to have finished there, but at the moment solo second place here at this championship. How do you reflect on the week?

BORJA VIRTO: Yeah, it's been a really good week. Yeah, it's a pity to finish like that. But I'm happy with the week. I've played really good golf. Made a couple big mistakes -- I think I've had three doubles this week, which I usually don't have many doubles. But that gives me -- at least I can say, I know if I play good golf I have a chance to win on the European Tour. It's good to be able to say that because I've never been this close before. It's a good week.

Q. What's the biggest thing you'll take from this week?

BORJA VIRTO: Just playing in contention, like being in the final group on Saturday, I actually felt really comfortable. Same today, like being up there, after the double I managed to stay patient and then I had a few birdies in a row. I got close to the lead, or I actually tied the lead at some point, I think, and I still felt pretty comfortable. I'm going to take that with me and try to use it in the future.

Q. If you stay solo second you'll get some really good Challenge Tour ranking points, as well, probably take you inside the top 30 on those rankings. A lot to play for towards the end of the season for you.

BORJA VIRTO: Yeah, there is. I actually forgot about that. I was so focused on trying to win this, I forgot I get points on Challenge Tour, as well. Yeah, that's actually really good. Yeah, so I don't know if I'll finish solo second or tied second. It doesn't change that much. Yeah, it's a positive week.
