"This week I felt so comfortable in my own game and everything clicked, so I'm over the moon."I treated the final like I had nothing to lose. I can't put into words how much it means to me."I struggled a couple of times this year and I still have that bad game in me, but I think when I do get it right, I can mix it with the best in the room."
