Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño, que ha comparecido ante los medios de comunicación por primera vez después de su victoria en Italia el domingo pasado, afirmó que “La sensación de la victoria en Italia fue rara, las dos veces que gané anteriormente había salido en el último partido y más o menos tenía controlados a mis competidores; esta vez salí con 5 golpes más y, a falta de 9 hoyos estaba peor, con una desventaja de 7".

A very rough translation, but this is the idea and perhaps others can chip in to clean up:
The feeling (sensation that I had) of the victory in Italy was rare (incredible); on the two other previous occasions that I won, I came out of the last rounds, more or less having control over my competitors. This time, I had five (5) more hits (strokes) and with nine (9) holes remaining, I was worse off by 7 strokes (a disadvantage of -7).
