“ I ’ m very proud of winning this title and it ’ s great to be the champion for a fifth time ”
Phil Taylor
I ’ ve done tonight .”
“ Last year I reached the quarter-finals and I ’ m happy to have reached the final - and I think I ’ ve proved that I ’ m getting closer to my first major .”
“ If someone had said at the start of the week that I ’ d get to the final , I ’ d have taken that but I ’ ll be back .”
“ The UK Open ’ s probably the hardest tournament to win and I didn ’ t play badly in the final but Phil played out of his skin and I take my hat off to him . He ’ s a legend and he was on top of his game .”
“ When you ’ re facing Phil it ’ s so hard to get back in the game . You have to stay with him or you ’ ll lose the game , and I ’ m afraid that happened to me tonight .”
