THE SENIOR OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP PRESENTED BY MASTERCARDJuly 25, 2010Bernhard LangerCARNOUSTIE, SCOTLAND Q. In the hierarchy of all of the things that you've done, all of the tournaments you have won, where does this rank? BERNHARD LANGER: This ranks very high. Obviously it was pretty close to my two U.S. Masters championships and some of The Ryder Cup stuff I won and those things, but it's definitely in the Top-10 and it's a thrill to finally hold this trophy. Corey played very well all day, he's a beautiful ball-striker and bends the ball both directions and he has a great short game. I knew he wouldn't go away and he got the lead to two and I got it back to three and it went to two and down to one. You know, it's just obviously a little closer, as you said, than I wanted to, but my goal was to come into 18 with a three-shot lead, and I had two shots. I played it safe, laid up and it's tough to birdie that hole. But Corey played very well and my hat's off to him. You still get nervous, and especially a championship that means something to you. As you know, I've always wanted to win The Open Championship and this is the next best thing. I probably will not win The Open Championship, but I'm very pleased to win the Senior Open Championship on a great golf course like this. Q. And final comments about Carnoustie as a venue? BERNHARD LANGER: Well, Carnoustie is a wonderful, tough links course, maybe the toughest I've ever played. The setup was very good and I want to congratulate the people who set up the golf course from the European PGA, and also I want to thank MasterCard for their title sponsorship and support of this tournament.
