Intro:

French Open champion Graeme McDowell and overnight-leader Kevin Stadler reflect on the final round in the French capital. The Northern Irishman successfully defends his French Open title after Stadler let slip a four-shot lead on Sunday.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Graeme McDowell, winner five-under-par (Q: How does this title rank along some of your other wins?)

"Very special. It means a lot of things to me. My first defence of a title. My first multiple win of a European Tour event. I came back from seven shots behind, or eight shots behind, wherever I was this morning so it proves a lot of things to me. Sometimes you've just got to hang in in this game. You don't know what's around the corner. I've learned that a few times the hard way in my career. Playing with Adam Scott at the Open Championship a couple of years ago at (Royal) Lytham, if I had had the peace of mind to hang in there perhaps I had an opportunity. And today, in those kind of conditions, having the peace of mind to hang in there and hit the shots and give it the "who knows" attitude, it paid off today. And I've got to bank those feelings and those shots and take them forward.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Kevin Stadler, second place four-under-par (Q: How frustrated are you after today?)

"I think it's very hard to lose the same tournament twice in the same day but I managed to do it. But you know it was a good week overall. It's a little bizarre to be so far under par early and not be able to finish it off like that. But if you were to give me a second place coming over here, I would have taken it in a heartbeat. I played good in spurts and obviously struggled today in the rain but it was all good."
