SOUNDBITE: (English), Wu Ashun:

"Wonderful week here, wonderful weather. Very tough here today and everybody has played very well also. Last year's champion he was also very, very good today. I also played very good today and my heart is very happy and keep very happy. I can play very well today and everybody so windy today so it is kind of tough today."

SOUNDBITE: (English), David Howell:

"Obviously it is very disappointing, I was in good shape to win this tournament and didn't get it done. That being said, didn't do an awful lot wrong. Holed a lovely putt on 17 to give myself a chance on the last knowing that birdie would be enough to win and I kind of realised that I was already in a play off - Ashun was obviously in on nine under and I had it to win on the last and I had it to lose, which would have been the same had we gone into extra holes. Obviously it is very disappointing to finish with a six and I guess the lay-up, of all the shots, to hit a poor one and to miss the fairway - that has probably cost me the chance of at least a playoff."
