GD4 Champion - Quick Quotes

Q. You just won here, G4D Tour FedEx Open de France, you're now the champion. How does it feel to hear those words?

MARK CLOUGHERTY: It's just amazing, absolutely amazing. Didn't have a clue, especially after yesterday, thought, it's going to be tight. There's a lot of good players, and then I just went out and I just had the round of my life.

Q. Yeah, just the nine birdies and one eagle today. We spoke yesterday about your birdies. Much improved today?

MARK CLOUGHERTY: Oh, night and day today. Got my putting going. Hit two chip-ins. We went and worked on something yesterday afternoon back on the range, just to get my driver going. The weekend the shape, and then went out in the day and driver was just absolutely fire.

Q. And the weather was perfect today?

MARK CLOUGHERTY: Weather was great. The first four, five holes, and it calmed down and the sun came out, which was nice.

Q. And what a group you're playing with today. How does it feel to win in front of such a great group of golfers?

MARK CLOUGHERTY: Just absolutely amazing. One of my oldest friends as well, coming across with me, has been an absolutely brilliant few days. So we're going to have a few beers tonight and enjoy myself.

Q. Exactly. What can you take forward from this event?

MARK CLOUGHERTY: I just said to Paul when we were in there, that's the monkey off my back. Because with my PTSD, I really suffer with anxiety, anxiety and confidence. And that today has just proved that I can play, and I'm capable of playing at a high level if I just set my mind to it and just make the game simple.
