00:00Yoan, congratulations. That's a wire-to-wire victory, 12-under for the tournament as well.

00:05Now your second victory in your rookie season. How does this feel?

00:08It feels unbelievable. I just can't believe how calm I was out there today.

00:12I think I couldn't have worked out any better playing with Connor.

00:16I played with him the first two days and he was playing so, so good.

00:19I felt, although he was my main rival for the day,

00:23managing to play with him and just holding each other off

00:27and trying to keep up with each other was so good.

00:31I just can't believe I'm a winner again.

00:34Your parents are relatively nervous watchers and your brother is a big support as well.

00:38They're probably hiding behind the sofas.

00:40Did you say that you gave your dad a call and he didn't even pick up?

00:43I called him. He's probably at the club buying the full club drinks, so that's probably why.

00:48My mum and dad were actually supposed to be there this week,

00:50but the last tournament they watched didn't go so well,

00:52so I banned them for the week because I said that I need to focus.

00:56I went in the office and managed to finish it off.

01:00On a more serious note, understanding how close your whole family is,

01:03how much of a difference has their support given you throughout your short career already?

01:11My dad, my brother and my dad are just everything for my golf.

01:18My whole family's life revolves around me playing golf.

01:22Their happiness seems like it's all about me and my golf.

01:27It's been a good year and obviously you get times where it doesn't go so well,

01:31so I think you really need to appreciate times where you're picking up trophies

01:35or you're making cuts and you're doing alright because it's a really tough game.

01:39You said one of your goals earlier this week was to get into the DP World Tour Championship.

01:44Was that lingering in your mind at all?

01:47Actually it was a wee bit.

01:48When I went back to Taipei, I was thinking,

01:50if I still finish second, I'll maybe still get in the World Tour final event in Dubai.

01:56I love Dubai, so I really want to go there.

02:02Connor's doing that walk down the steps thing again.

02:04I was doing it earlier, remember?

02:06It was just so good that I'm going to be there now.

02:10I was going to play six weeks in a row coming up and Connor thought I was crazy,

02:12so I might take a week off somewhere now.

02:15Overall, 61 to start off the week and now you're walking away from the trophy.

02:18How are you going to celebrate?

02:20Just with a Sprite and Blackcurrant.

02:27He's got a Budweiser, so he's a big, big drink.

02:31Congratulations again. Enjoy the moment.

02:32Thanks so much. Thank you.
