Abraham Ancer spoke to the media after clinching victory after a playoff at LIV Hong Kong.
I mean I think you said it perfectly it was definitely a grind I made it uh a lot more stressful that I envisioned it um I didn’t have my best ball striking it was uh very very polar opposite of the first two rounds um of the te and
And my my Fairway and and second shots um wasn’t quite there uh but I was really happy mentally I I dug deep I had to that that round could have definitely been going south very very quickly so uh I’m really proud of that I’m really
Proud of how I felt mentally and how I I fought the whole round not having my my best stuff I knew it was going to be tough there’s some big time names right behind me and I know there was I knew there was going to be a couple of really
Low rounds out there that like PC um just like that so I knew I had to make some birdies coming in or have some some good stuff coming in and uh unfortunately I didn’t have any birdies coming in but uh it was it was good
Enough to get in a playoff and then I hit some two good quality golf shots there to to finish it off and and it felt nice it felt really good cuz that was a very stressful round it feels incredible cuz I’ve I worked so hard this previous two years um and I haven’t
Been able to I feel like I haven’t played to my potential in this past two years so I I maybe I put too much too much pressure on myself myself I I I can’t really it was tough to pinpoint what it was because I was I was practicing harder than I’ve ever have
And I was not seeing the results so it was uh mentally it was tough that’s why today was uh was really big for me I felt like mentally to to be able to get it done with uh with a tough tough round not hitting in my best and uh feeling
The pressure of all these great players be right behind me so it means a lot it just g means a lot of con a lot of confidence but uh it also kind of eases me that all the hard work that I’ve that I put in this last two years is it paid
Off today so um I’m I’m extremely happy
