“This win means a lot. I’ve been playing good golf. My game has been solid, but I just haven’t been able to put three or four rounds together in the bigger events. Getting the first two rounds in this week was great because then you’re not chasing the whole time. “So, I knew today I just had to play solidly. The course was set up tough, the wind was gusting, so I knew I had to keep it steady, and luckily, I got the birdie on the last,” said Ryan. He opened the tournament with a three-under-par 68, which included six birdies and three bogeys. He then followed it up with an impressive five-under-par 66 in the second round, recording six birdies and just one bogey, on the par-three 17th hole. The third and final round proved to be a tense contest. Tied at eight-under with Sullivan and with Pieters, already in the clubhouse, Ryan approached the 18th tee knowing a birdie or better would hand him outright victory and avoid a sudden-death play-off.
