SOUNDBITE: (English) Thongchai Jaidee, tournament winner:

"You know, today is very tough with the conditions. I've had worse conditions in Korea, but this was wind and rain together. It demands that you have to be strong mentally on this course. You play on a lot of fairways and to be fair I made a lot of fairways that's the main thing. And the second thing is hit the ball on the green, that's the main thing. I think it's very difficult. I had a very bad hole on nine, I hit very badly up and hit a very bad third shot in the bunker before going out of bounds.I had a very good comeback after a double bogey on 10, 11 and 12, that helped my chances, and a good putt on 15 that gave me a good chance on the last three holes. I'm going to enjoy this, it's been very hard work for me and I'm very happy with that.

"I'm very happy with that and very proud because it's the first time in Europe, and normally I win a lot of times in Asia, and now I've come to Europe and I'm very lucky. Also people here support me, a lot of families and a lot of fans support me also so I really enjoyed that."
