I played golf very badly on Sunday in a competition and by chance this morning found that Andy Murray's remarks after his defeat yesterday fitted the case with only a few minor changes. Here's what he said with my replacement words in red.

"It was 10 times worse than I played on Thursday. I just struggled, it's hard to explain. I didn't feel good all round. I tried to get myself going on the back nine but I came up with a bad short game......which is normally what I do best and, when you are missing so many shots, it's difficult to win."

At least in my case no crowd of supporters went home disappointed.
