Press Conference

Q. 71 today but you did ask the question of Tyrrell there on 18. Tell us your emotions coming off 18?

DANIEL HILLIER: Yeah, it's bittersweet, that's for sure. Yeah, I didn't have my best today obviously but I fought hard all day. Yeah, just barely gave myself a chance down the stretch.

Hats off to Tyrrell. He was pretty solid down the stretch there. He's class. We will done to him.

Q. You must take a lot of comfort, barring the bet forward British Masters, this is your best finish on the DP World Tour and on a day when you're not firing on all six cylinders, you must take a lot of confidence from this?

DANIEL HILLIER: Yeah, a hundred per cent. I think the course suits me. But yeah, it was an amazing week. I do think that, yeah, I can compete when I'm on and hopefully I can come back and do better.

Q. What does this do for the start of your 2025 season?

DANIEL HILLIER: Yeah, absolutely, one of my goals is to get off to a better start than I did the last couple of seasons. Kind of been playing catchup from the second half of the year, and yeah, it's just nice to start off solid and come back here and have one of my best performances.
