"It's been an amazing weekend," says Van Peer. "Getting to the number one spot was my goal. No matter if it was by £50 or more I would have taken it. Winning three out of five just changes the whole weekend. It's an amazing achievement."

"I am very satisfied. Nowadays I play without pressure and that's when I perform best. I am free to play and then the results follow," he continues before crediting the European Tour as somewhere that has helped him hone his skills in recent weeks and months. "I gained a lot of confidence there. I even managed to qualify for the final day on Sunday and proved there that I can compete with the better players on a good day."
