 Fisher said he now felt more confident about putting under pressure
|
Ross Fisher says winning the World Match Play on Sunday proves he has what it takes to win a major.
Speaking ahead of the HSBC Champions tournament in China, Fisher said he has come close to winning a major and will triumph in a future event.
"I had chances and I feel my game's ready to win a major," he said.
"I just need to get into contention and hopefully sooner or later I'll be able to walk through the door like I did last week [as a winner]."
Playing alongside Tiger Woods at this weekend's tournament in Shanghai ensures Fisher will be at the centre of attention, a position he hopes to occupy in the future.

606: DEBATE

"After I won on Sunday, I said that if it wasn't for a few things here and there, I think I could quite easily have won two or three majors," he told BBC Sport.
"A couple of guys weren't overly keen on me saying that but I was speaking the truth.
"I had a great chance to win the US Open but a couple of putts just slid by the wrong time, and I led the Masters after the first day and unfortunately I didn't quite hang on.
"At the Open I was two shots clear after four holes but one bad swing cost me the Open, and at the USPGA I was right up there on Saturday but unfortunately finished with a couple of bogeys."
Fisher admitted that when it came to the crunch at this year's biggest tournaments, he had been found wanting, but his Match Play victory over Anthony Kim in Spain had done a lot for his self belief.
"You need to hit fairways and greens or you'll come a cropper, but the most important thing is that you need to hole putts," he said.
"This year in the majors I didn't quite do it on the Sundays, but last week on Saturday and Sunday, I holed some crucial putts, so it's nice to know that under the pressure I can step up and knock some in.
"That'll help me when I get in that position again."
Ian Poulter is another English golfer who comes into the tournament buoyed by recent success, after winning the Singapore Open.
 The win was Poulter's first since the Dunlop Phoenix in Japan in 2007

"At the start of the year I had some goals set out and one was to be in the world top 10, which is now very close," he said.
"But there are some big tournaments to finish the year off, so if I play very solidly with the current form I've got I could move into the top 10 which would tick the boxes I set myself."
He also has the added incentive of knowing that success in those remaining tournaments could help him tie up a Ryder Cup place.
"They're big-money tournaments and big-points tournaments if you can nick one or two wins. If I can take another, I'll get close and the sooner I get in the Ryder Cup team the better, and the more relaxed I'll be playing next year."
