We don't have much Mexican food, and we don't have any border patrol. Tasmania is probably the nearest thing to a foreign country.

When we come over here, we're certainly very proud to represent our country.

If anyone gets to double figures, that would be excellent golf.
ball couple driving few greens hitting irons level months
I'm at a more competitive level than I was a few months ago, driving the ball better, hitting my irons better, hitting more greens and making a couple more putts.
I don't know where 12 months has gone.
certainly dose fair hit huge previous respect throw
Certainly a huge dose of respect you've got to throw at a lot of the putts downhill, even from 3, 4, 5 feet. Nothing you can hit aggressive. They've got a fair dose of speed, more than they had in previous years.

You can look at it as we have no chance, or you can look at it as we have something to prove, that we can narrow the gap the Americans have here. It's totally interpretation.

I sort of like the way my game feels right now. I like the course and I think the course will fit a lot of players' eyes this week.

Putting hasn't been a lot of fun the last few months,
crazy easy felt knowing mess players relaxed victories watched
I've watched tournaments where players had big victories and thought, 'I don't know how easy it would be or how crazy it would be. I felt comfortable and relaxed knowing there was no way I could mess up the tournament.
