Simon Khan, the 2010 BMW Championship Winner, relives the last two weeks since his victory before this week’s Celtic Manor Wales Open.

Khan said, “Yeah, got up and played the next morning. I actually felt pretty good about playing. To go out and turn the phone off was nice for four hours.”

“I played in the morning and felt fine and played well in the morning. The afternoon was almost as good. It was a shame it didn’t work out in the end.”

Having failed to qualify for the US Open, he said that he felt disappointed in himself.

However, he received a phone call from a friend which made him appreciate the enormity of what he had achieved.
