The Italian produced a flawless display at Wentworth to win the BMW PGA Championship
This is a tournament where you’ve had six top-tens, you were second last year, and now you’ve got your hands on the trophy. Did it just feel like your year?
No, it never does. But it’s great to come out on top. To be honest, when I saw Rory five ahead after two days, I thought it was going to be really tough to catch him, but the wind probably assisted on Saturday and I played very solidly on Sunday.
Are you proud of the way you held yourself together?
Yeah, I’m proud of the way I kept focusing on my own thing, hitting good shots and staying patient. I think I did that really well until the 18th, which wasn’t ideal, but it was a five in the end. I’m really, really happy about the win. To play 44 holes without a bogey at Wentworth is impressive, even for my high standards [laughs].
