It's a great feeling to know that I've played the best golf throughout the season of any of the guys for the second time in three years, it's really nice.
I feel like I came through this year stronger and wiser, and I can go into 2015 in a much better place.
The Open is the one that we all want and strive for and to be able to hold this Claret Jug is an incredible feeling. To be three legs towards the career grand slam at the age of 25 is a pretty good achievement. It's not going to sink in for a while.
