Peter Hanson has admitted that, despite the euphoria of victory, his confidence took a hit during the Ryder Cup at Medinah last week.
Asked if he spoke to Olazabal, Hanson added: "I did a little bit, but it's hard. You're part of a team and when I got notified 20 minutes before we teed off on Saturday I got very upset. "I didn't take that very well, but I just locked myself in a dark room and stayed there for a couple of hours. "You don't want to let your bad feelings affect the other guys. It's all about getting out there and supporting your teammates, so I was out there Saturday afternoon walking the fairways. "I think in that respect I didn't damage the team and that was the main thing. You can't let your ego affect the rest of the team. "I was so sure I was going to play, so I actually went out and played a couple of holes Saturday morning and did my warm up early in the day. "When I got notified I was actually filling in the pinsheet (hole positions) in my book, so that's probably why I got so upset. I was already in game mode."
