Result: Price 4-6 Humphries<\/p>\n
Luke Humphries speaking to Sky Sports after winning the night: “It’s relief. You see it with how I felt at the end. It’s been a struggle this year. It’s not been the best from me this year. I worked incredibly hard, I changed back to my old flights and it worked. I’m proud of myself. It’s easy when you’re winning, but it shows true grit to come from my position to then get through and win it tonight. <\/p>\n
“Sometimes you have to try something new. I did it at the Grand Prix and it worked. I did it at the world and it didn’t. I’m just incredibly proud of myself. Probably the most proud I’ve been in my life. The last three weeks, there’s been a lot of pressure on my shoulders. <\/p>\n
“I was five points from the top four and thought I needed a miracle. My girlfriend said I had it in me and sometimes I need that. To not even have a chance of regaining the title, it would have hurt me a lot. I’m really glad I can go back to the O2.”<\/p>\n
On dealing with pressure: “It’s experience. If you win the night, you go through. When I’ve played in any major final, these nights help you. Experience has helped me a lot. I didn’t expect to be in a position where I’ve qualified. I wanted to be in a position on week 16 to have a chance. <\/p>\n
“If I’m fourth, then I play Luke. He knows how to beat me and I know how to beat him. If I finish third, then maybe we can rerun the script.”<\/p>\n
What he’ll do in the week: “Probably relax and play the pro tours in midweek. I’ve been playing a lot of golf recently and it helps me.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘I’m proud of myself’published at 22:37 BST 22:37 BST Result: Price 4-6 Humphries Luke Humphries speaking to Sky…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":584461,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-584460","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=584460"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584460\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/584461"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=584460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=584460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=584460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
