Quick Quotes

Q. Many congratulations, 2024 BMW PGA Champion Billy Horschel, my goodness, you had to fight for that in the end, back-to-back birdies, incredible playoff victory. How much can you enjoy it when it's like that?

BILLY HORSCHEL: No, not really. I mean, listen, my heart was pounding on the last couple shots, the last couple holes, and especially in the playoff but it's always fun being in those situations. That's what we work so hard for. That's what I've worked so hard for, and that's what I've always wanted to be, in situations like that, going against the best players in the world and hopefully be able to come out on top on the day. I was able to nip Rory and Thriston and come away with the victory.

Q. You said you were weren't comfortable with your swing all week but talk about the putter.

BILLY HORSCHEL: Yeah, the putter has been good. I feel I'm one of the best putters in the word. Once I start seeing one or two go in, it start fueling my confidence even more and I had to rely on it. Because like I said I didn't stripe it or strike it as well as I would have wanted. I had to make a lot of 20-footers for birdies everything and. But it bailed me out when I needed it.

Q. I know you love this tournament and you love coming here, and you're a champion again here at Wentworth, and you did it against a good friend of yours. How special has this week been?

BILLY HORSCHEL: It's always one of my most special weeks of the year. I enjoy coming here. I feel a sense of ease. I feel a sense of calm. I know I'm not from the U.K. or London or England, but I feel almost at home when I come here.

I have a lot of friends that I've made over the years, Mark Noble, Declan Rice, Tripp Smith, a lot of people that I hang out with during the week, and I will say the crowds here make me feel like I'm one of their own, and I'm very appreciative of that.
