After the tournament Nökkvi wrote on his facebok page: „I am back home in Dunedin after a great tournament The Davenport Classic in Ridgewood Lakes. This is the strongest tournament I have participated in and furthermore the best result in my carreer. In the field were ex- and present players on the PGA Tour and the Champions Tour. Also players that are preparing for the final stage of Q-school in California og many were playing on the 2nd stage last week. I am very satisfied with the 7th position but as usual one can always find certain strokes, especially it was frustrating finishing with a bogey which cost me the 5th place. But as I say, I´m very pleased and this was my best finish in my career in strenuous conditions. I would like to thank everyone who has supported me.”
