Torrie :  “I’m very, very happy. There were too many strokes I was giving away, sometimes it doesn’t feel like a stroke when it is, but I had to keep it out the middle, and I played more drops to sort this and I’m happy to pull through in that last game.

“I had to stay strong mentally and get a strong start in that fifth, and once I did that, I managed to pull through. I didn’t think I was hitting as accurately as I normally do, hence the amount of decisions, but I think I did well to stay focused.

“I’ve got the whole family with me tonight and it’s so nice to have them here and I can’t wait to be back on tomorrow.”
