Quick Quotes

Q. You've come so close so often, you've dreamt of this moment and now you've finally got your hands on that trophy. Can you just describe to us how this feels?

ADRIAN MERONK: Such a relief to be honest. As you said, I've been coming quite close a couple of times this year, and to finally open the door, it's just a dream come true. That's why we practise every day, and such a relief and so happy.

Q. You're not shy of making history, are you. You're the first Polish player to earn DP World Tour state us, and now win out here, as well. You didn't have many Polish representatives growing up. What does it feel like knowing you're that leading role model for the people at home?

ADRIAN MERONK: I love it. I love it. I'm not stopping. I'm going to keep going forward. It's another step for me. And I'm excited I achieved it here in Ireland, such a great history, and I'm just super excited. I can't describe it.

Q. Walking down 18, did you look back at all at the atmosphere, sold-out crowds; can you describe how that felt today?

ADRIAN MERONK: To be honest I was imagining this picture yesterday, what it might look like, you know. Looked exactly like how you math inned it. I was just trying to enjoy this moment. It was an unbelievable feeling and to hit such a good shot on the last hole, I'm super proud of myself and my caddie, and yeah, super happy.

Q. What was going through your mind when you holed that eagle putt on 17?

ADRIAN MERONK: Again, probably just a relief but I still knew I had to putt a couple good swings on the last hole, which I focused on, and yeah, when I hit the green on 18, at that moment, I realised, that's it.
