Stephen Gallacher (Sco) Final round 71 (-1), Total 279 (-9)
Today the winds was swirling and the course was playing really tough. I was three behind the lead at the start of the day and got off to quite a solid start and then I hit a quadruple-bogey on hole seven. I was pretty calm at that point of time, I stood on the eighth tee and saw I was only five shots behind. I told myself to stick to the game and you never know what can happen. Especially with how hard it was playing and I came back three-under in the last four holes.
I am 45 this year so I am really proud of what I did out here today. It changes my schedule and I can play a bit less and it was great to win with my son on the bag. He has caddied for me 20 events already, and to win with him there and on Mother’s Day as well makes it even more special. It has been a great day.
Masahiro Kawamura (Jpn) Final round 73 (+1), Total 280 (-8)
The round was very good especially in such tough conditions. I wasn’t playing very well in the front nine and was struggling on a lot of the holes and I had some missed shots, but the back nine I played very well. The course was tough today but I managed to come back.
(Only the last hole) My tee shot was very good but the wind was strong and it just pushed it left. Coming into the last two holes and seeing my name on the leaderboard, I was really nervous. I knew how important the final hole was and I hit a good shot but was just unlucky. Last year I finished second three times on the Japan Tour, lost by one shot twice and once in a play-off. Now I finished second by one shot this time again.
Rashid Khan (Ind) Final round 70 (-2), Total 284 (-4)
It was pretty good week. Coming into this week I was a little bit scared because I missed the cut last year and I felt a bit of pressure to do well. I went to practice at a similar golf course the last couple of weeks and that really helped out.
Throughout the week I was hitting it really well. I only missed it on the wrong side of the green with my irons but it was the only mistake I made. But other than that, I was holing out a lot of putts and making a lot of birdies.
Ends.
