  • Intro:

    Reaction after George Coetzee defeats Thorbjørn Olesen in a play-off to claim the Mauritius Open golf tournament title.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) George Coetzee, Mauritius Open champion:

    "Happy to have pulled through it and posted a good number. Thorbjorn (Olesen) did unbelievably well to put the pressure on me the whole day, and I actually had to work in the end to catch him. But all in all, I'm just happy the job's done. It doesn't matter how many holes it takes, just get it done."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) George Coetzee, Mauritius Open champion:

    (On eagle attempt at 18 during final round, which lipped out).

    "Yeah, I would have loved it if that had got in. No, I'm obviously happy that they I still won, but just to finish it in that kind of style would have been nice."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Thorbjorn Olesen, Denmark, runner-up:

    "Yeah, I hit a great five iron and just worked it up there and I knew it was going to be good, and hit a great putt also, and a birdie on that hole (note: context not clear, possibly hole 17) is one of the good birdies. I had the chance on 18 also, I hit a bad three iron out to the right, and then difficult bunker shot. But I'm pretty pleased with the way I handled things today. I also had a bad start again and fought my way back. And yeah, was just a lot of fighting out there... and George just played a little bit better."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Thorbjorn Olesen, Denmark, runner-up:

    "Yeah, I mean to be honest I didn't expect this before the tournament, so to be in a playoff is unbelievable when I haven't played a tournament for over three months. So yeah, I'm very pleased with that and I can take that with me. So it's a good start."
