I knew it, when I saw a marshal walk right over the tree, I knew it would be a long wait until the ball stopped.

I knew that wherever it was falling, it was going to be on a carriageway or on the side of a hill, and the situation was going to get worse.

"Obviously, that ball, when it stopped, it stopped in front of a branch and a rock, and it was almost an impossible shot. So I just had to gather my stuff and try to make five from there.
