We played two different courses this week, so it’s always challenging because the greens and the conditions aren’t always the same for the two courses. So, I’m very happy with the results, I’ve been playing well lately but this week especially since yesterday’s round 2. It’s a relief, I mean, it’s been a tough season for me this year so to end it with good feelings it’s always nice. I’m overall very happy and already looking forward to the next season.”
