Petersen spoke afterwards and thought that the right man ended up claiming the victory and that in the end this will stand him in good stead for his second round match up with Ian White in the first game of Friday's evening session. "I don't mean to sound cocky but I think in the end the right man won," said Petersen. "I felt like I was cruising and I probably taking the foot off the gas a bit and I almost paid the price for that but I came through in the end. "It feels phenomenal to still be in this magnificent tournament and I think this game will stand me in good stead for my game with Ian." for more information about the
