winning people world
People confuse being world No. 1 with winning a Major championship.
tired mean differences
I'm heavier, but with muscle rather than flab. It's a massive difference. It means I don't get as tired sometimes and it means that I'm hitting the ball a lot farther, about 15 yards more with my driver.
smile golf people
People always say golfers don't smile. But there is so much psychology in golf so we have to be a bit robotic.
golf past people
Golf is played between the ears and if you are not 100 percent focused on what you are trying to do, then people will go past you no matter who you are.
golf tennis over-you
You're the only one in control over your golf ball. It's not like tennis: you're hitting a shot and somebody's hitting it back at you.
sarcastic sarcasm sense-of-humor
Sometimes Americans don't quite get my sense of humor. My good ol' British sarcasm seems to go over their heads.
years lasts hitting
I'm hitting it better than last year. The putting is getting close now, too.
months inches eighteen
Eighteen months ago I weighed 95kg and had a 40-inch waist. Now the waist is down to 34 inches and I weigh nearly 98kg.
years lasts week
Even when I finished third at the U.S. Open a few weeks back, I didn't putt very well, nor in the last round of last year's Masters when Mickelson won, nor last year's Open at Turnberry, where I came second.
hard-work mean way
Yes, a Major would mean so much to me but I'm a great believer that if you work hard and in the right way, you will get what you deserve.
europe cups said
I've said before that the Ryder Cup is not the European Tour versus the American Tour. It's Europe's best golfers against the US.
disappointment good-day golf
No, I don't have any problems leaving disappointments behind. I've had lots of good days at golf and a few disappointments, so you never know what's around the corner.
rooms auras charisma
You always knew when Seve walked in a room even if you had your back to him. He oozed charisma and brought a whole new meaning to aura.
feel-good feelings way
I'm working my way steadily back and I'm feeling good.
