Matt Wallace could not hide his emotions after narrowly missing out on securing a second successive Omega European Masters title on Sunday.
Defending champion Wallace led for a large part of the final round but eventually finished two shots behind winner Thriston Lawrence after signing for a closing 67.
The Englishman's impressive display at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club comes just before European Ryder Cup Captain Luke Donald names his six picks for this month's showpiece, with Wallace admitting to having a "heavy heart” in a social media post as he arrived back in Crans-Montana last week.
Reflecting on the week, Wallace said: "Yeah, it was good. Could have been a couple better.
"That shot into the 14th killed me really. But I gave it my all and hit some good shots coming in."
A visibly emotional Wallace then stuggled to finish his interview as he added: "I'd never give up on the Ryder Cup. I just won't, so that's it."
