Pressure a factor in my run to final

WHAT a weekend! I said here last week that if I got past the fourth round, I felt confident of going deep into the UK Open and so it proved to be.

From that comfortable win in the fourth round, my confidence just grew with every match and although I fell at the final stage it was still a magical weekend.

Even when faced with going out to Cameron Menzies, and again in the quarter-finals against Luke Humphries, I still retained the belief I would go through.
