Jeev Milkha Singh - "I could not have asked for more honestly - I think I am a very fortunate man to win, those boys put a good effort out there, Ernie and Padraig. The golfing gods are on my side so I am breathing much better now.

"I saw that I had a one-shot lead coming to the last. I was not hitting my driver that well so I took a three wood - at least confirm a five and if you make a four great. I was fortunate the other guys did not make a four. I am happy."
