Transcript
00:00Jamie congratulations Inverness 4 Day Open Champion for the first time.
00:07How's the feeling sunk in yet? Not really no, it's quite surreal but I just don't eat it after
00:12the last couple of weeks it's not gone my way so to get this one over the line has been
00:17tough but
00:18it's well rewarding. Looking at the scores, it looked like you had a pretty good competition
00:25across the whole four days. Scoring was fantastic this year I think the qualifying score was quite
00:31low and I played really well on Monday night in really bad conditions and we got the rough end
00:36of the draw I think but I was just consistent all week and managed to come out on top. And
00:43then the final
00:43doesn't get any tougher than taking on the defending champion Phil Jordan. No absolutely not he knows
00:48how to get it right in here and he's a fantastic player but I mean all four matches have been
00:53very tough. I probably couldn't have had a harder running I don't think which makes it a bit sweeter
00:59but I played Lewis in the first match, John, then Ryan, then Jordan so I played a lot of golf
01:05with
01:06all of them so I know how good they are so yeah it makes it a bit sweeter. In the
01:11final I think you
01:12were always in front never really behind? No I had a terrible start. I was two down after three and
01:18lost a couple of balls and then aye I started playing pretty good. The pattern was pretty cold
01:26but I got the last couple that got me over the line. And this is a famous trophy in Highland
01:34Golf
01:34what does it mean to you to have your name on it now? Oh it's huge yeah it's probably
01:40everyone probably feels like they've under achieved in their career I certainly do but the last couple of
01:44years I've started to win some big ones so yeah I'm delighted. Not only that that's you in the world
01:50rankings now. I know it makes it a bit nicer. Aye definitely I've never had any wager points before
01:54so that's nice and I've not had a very good stab at defending my order of merit crown this year
01:59so
01:59this will hopefully jump me back into contention with that as well. And what's next for you now?
02:05What's next we're playing competition in the air on Saturday morning then we've got a North District
02:09uh area teams match against Perth on Sunday we're going into Blairgowrie so uh plenty plenty of golf
02:16over the next few weeks. A chance to celebrate this? Aye I'll um not play tomorrow I'm working but
02:22I'll have a few. Good stuff excellent well congratulations. Cheers well thanks.
