Q. Excellent playing for you today --
TYRRELL HATTON: No.
Q. You don't agree with that?
TYRRELL HATTON: No. Well, Christiaan definitely played better tee to green today. I've got the putter to thank for today. I holed so many putts. Yeah, that kind of just kept us in it. There was probably a big moment on the -- is it the 4th, the par-3, holed about a 15-footer there to not go 3 down through four, so obviously not an ideal start, but yeah, really happy to get the win in the end, and hopefully I'll play a bit better tomorrow but keep holing putts.
Q. That's the magic of match play; he hit it better but you putted better; I think that's the key.
TYRRELL HATTON: Yeah, I guess so. I feel like I haven't really done that well, certainly last year. It's a golf course that doesn't suit my eye at all, so obviously it's nice to hole putts today and get the confidence there on the greens. Like I said, just hopefully hit some better shots and give myself a few more opportunities.
Q. You hit a lot of fairways and your iron play is really, really good; I would think you'd be pretty good at match play.
TYRRELL HATTON: Yeah, if I feel comfortable with my swing. I really didn't feel comfortable today. Just have a kind of weird miss of a pull draw, and for someone that -- I don't think about shaping the ball anyway, but naturally the ball should fall right for me, and it's been a shot that I've been struggling with, and didn't have a good warmup and certainly didn't feel very comfortable on the course. I feel like that score line is pretty flattering, but like I said, the putter definitely helped me out today.
