BMW INTERNATIONAL OPENJune 29, 2014James HeathCOLOGNE, GERMANY Q. When did you first realise it could be going? JAMES HEATH: I had a sneaky feeling it could be quite good because I thought the club I had was maybe a little too much and I didn't quite strike it‑‑ then it went in. I had visions of doing it on Friday. I had real visions‑‑ then I hit that 20 yards right. And then today, yeah, just a little fade 7‑iron, spun back in the hole. Q. Is this your first ace on the Tour? JAMES HEATH: First ace on Tour, yes. I think it's my 15th. Q. What other prizes have you seen? JAMES HEATH: None. I didn't even get a pat on the back in México or something like that four years ago‑‑ Colombia, not even a ripple. This was obviously a good time to do it. Q. Did it cost you anything in terms of the caddie, if you're an amateur, you have to pay a big round for the caddies or something like that? JAMES HEATH: I'll make sure my caddie is well looked after, don't worry about that. He did initially pull 8‑iron and I pulled 7. I drive a Citroën DS4, very nice car‑‑ I don't have a garage. I have a flat. But I have absolutely no complaints. Absolutely delighted. Still can't quite believe it to be honest. Q. What do you think of the car itself? JAMES HEATH: Honestly I don't really ever take the time because I've never been able to afford something so wonderful. So I've never really looked at it. It's just like torture; why would you look at cars like that that you can't even afford. But now I'd obviously take a lot of time. Q. Any ideas about colours? JAMES HEATH: I really don't know anything about the whole situation to tell you the truth. Yeah, I don't know anything about it. Q. Do you consider this your biggest prize on the Tour so far? JAMES HEATH: 100 percent, the biggest prize cheque I've ever had is 35,000. So it's well above that. Yeah, as I said to Michael earlier, it would be nice to win on the course, get in The Race to Dubai. Q. If you had a choice between taking a higher placing and a car? JAMES HEATH: I would take‑‑ well, depends on the higher placing. If it was a thousand pound‑‑ well, I would probably take‑‑ that's a tricky one, isn't it. I'd rather take a higher placing if I'm being truly honest, a top two or top three. I wouldn't take 43rd or 42nd. Q. Was it easy to concentrate afterwards? JAMES HEATH: It was a bit tricky. You've just won this awesome car, and yeah, I wasn't particularly playing kind of that great today. Yeah, it was a little tricky to focus actually and towards the end I was kind of like, just get it in. Like I say, nice problem to have. Q. Have you Tweeted it already? JAMES HEATH: I'm not on Twitter, so I haven't, no. I'm not on Facebook, either, so I haven't done anything like that. I've just come off the golf course so I haven't done anything. Been focusing for four hours. Q. What did the other guys say? JAMES HEATH: Obviously delighted. It's obviously great to get a hole‑in‑one any time. To get a hole in one on that particular hole when there's such a magnificent prize‑‑ my friend got a hole‑in‑one worth a couple thousands, and that's obviously great but when you do it in this situation, it's fantastic.
