As I said, you don't look as you are going backwards, but you generally have a feel that a couple of wins will get you back up to certainly inside top-five, and then you know, another couple of weeks on top of that, and you're challenging second place ... I think it's about 10 wins I need before I'll be challenging first place.
Thirteen? Now I know why I don't look
When you win, you know, some lucky things always happen ... I would have liked to be sitting here and said that was the turning point for getting the victory, but as it stands, it was fun just to be able to compete and play at a high level like that when it mattered like that and I hope I get a chance to do that again soon.
