I really thought we had a shot at winning at one point and each and every guy really played his best until the end. The European team is really tough. I think it's wonderful that we could come together under one sport for Asia.

We won the singles today, but the European team took the trophy. Europe is a great team and so was the Asian team. I was happy to see the boys fight back after yesterday. For a moment, it looked possible that we could upset Europe and our players grew in confidence. We proved today that we could compete.

I believe we have a very strong line-up. The eight players have produced some terrific golf over the past 12 months which is clearly reflected by their finishes on the Japan and Asian tours.

I definitely thought about winning a tournament at the start of the year, ... I had six top 10s last year, even though only a couple of them I thought I had a chance of winning, but I could feel it gradually coming.

There were some matches that we thought we should win that we ended up not winning. It made the difference. The guys wrestled hard. We just didn't win where we needed to win. It was a nice atmosphere.

The game was all about winning for our seniors, not about me winning this award. I thought it was a complete team victory.
