Q. You've just gained your eighth DP World Tour win at the DP World India Championship. How does that feel?
TOMMY FLEETWOOD: Yeah, lovely. Actually at the start of the week -- I've done it actually since Ryder Cup, have had a few questions about hadn't made it to the final two events of the year and things like that. I hadn't qualified anyway.
I said, I feel like for all the good that's happened this year, a couple of things have disappointed me, that my sort of DP World Tour year has. Yeah, another win feels great.
Q. It's the second win of the season. You said to me at the start of the week that you had more things to achieve this year, a win being one of them. How extra special is it that it's a win in front of Frankie for the first time?
TOMMY FLEETWOOD: Yeah, so we were at home last week and we were driving the buggy. I think we were playing golf together, and he just said randomly, do you know what you've never done? He said, you've never won a tournament and I've been able to run on to the 18th green. I was like, I'm writing that down.
I had that written down all week. Like I say, it was just another opportunity really. There's going to be many more times where I hopefully get the chance to do that. But that was like all day today, had in my mind could I put myself in a position where I can actually make that moment happen.
It's just one of those little things it means a lot to me. It means so much to me. That was really cool. That's what I wanted to do all day.
Q. I want to touch on golf specific. There was that clutch par save at 11, which felt like momentum-wise was a big difference for you, and coming off the back of yesterday afternoon you spoke about putting and how it was a little frustrating on the back nine, but what a brilliant response. In terms of what you can take from this round, from this win, is putting and a response to what happened on Saturday a big part of that?
TOMMY FLEETWOOD: Yeah, of course. Everything is an opportunity to respond in the best way you can, whether it's good or bad. I said yesterday, I felt like I putted great yesterday except for that four- or five-hole stretch. I practised afterwards, and I actually -- again, you look at opportunities, the first hole today, I had a six-footer on the first, left to right, and I actually thought at the time, this is a great way to start a different day, like get some momentum with the putter, feel good with it. I putted amazing today. I really, really did.
Yeah, I played amazing, and down the stretch I felt like I holed some great putts, like mid-range putts, but like you say, I felt like after gaining some momentum, just that one on 11, I hit a couple of poor iron shots there on 11 and 12, but that putt was big, and managed to just keep it going through the back nine.
Q. You seem to be the king of responding to things, both on a micro level of responding to what happened putting-wise on Saturday and on a grander scale of coming close so many times and giving a win at the TOUR Championship. Give us some insight into your mindset because I know you've spoken on family and being a leader within your family and the example that you want to set. Is that what you say is the thing that creates that superpower for you?
TOMMY FLEETWOOD: I think so, yeah. I think everybody needs something to push them or to motivate them. Yeah, I apply myself in trying to achieve the best possible at all times, and there's plenty of times where things haven't gone my way, but the last two tournaments I've been in contention or won, so maybe things are starting to even out a little bit. I love working on my game. I love having all these experiences which help me sort of pass it down to my kids or to anybody that is interested in listening because I feel like I've got information to give there through all those things.
Like I say, I just want to give myself the best possible chance of playing well each and every week, so that goes from practice to how you think to how you are, and that's all I try and do, really.
