college america australia
In America, if you want to make it as a golfer, you go to college on a scholarship. In Australia, you go to the airport with a plane ticket. The competition just isn't there.
important want chance
The Masters is a very important tournament. You don't want to jeopardize your chances. The sponsors understand that.
dad cows rooms
If a cow walked into this room, I'd probably walk out. I could milk it, but my dad never forced me to do a lot of chores like that, mostly because he loved doing it himself.
taken remember given
I don't remember too many rounds where you get shots given to you. Usually, ones are taken away.
world tvs
I was from the bush, watching Greg Norman on TV, but it was a world away.
dream winning special
I had to do something special coming in. I didn't do it, so I had to do it in the playoff. Winning the Mercedes is awesome. Winning three times is a dream come true.
golf thinking skills
I certainly don't think adrenalin coursing through your veins, is going to help with the fine motor skills of golf.
mom dad home
I didn't really get into golf until I was about 14. My mom and dad were taking lessons from a pro an hour and a half from our farm in Cohuna, Australia. When they got home, I'd ask my mom to explain everything they learned - drills and all.
swings car world
The top golfers in the world are like Formula One cars when it comes to their swings.
depression people overcoming
I can certainly see how people are overcome by depression.

When the wind blows like it did on the back nine today it can add at least three strokes to your round. There can be a fine line between looking brilliant and looking like an idiot. But Chad put the ball in very good places all day. He looked brilliant.
border food foreign mexican nearest
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.
golden moment step tricky waiting
We don't have that golden child. It's tricky at the moment because they're all waiting for someone to step out of the darkness.
australian courses heath melbourne open playing royal sitting
We shouldn't be playing an Australian Open here. We should be playing on a top-10 course, ... To think that courses like Royal Melbourne and Kingston Heath are sitting there while we play this place is ridiculous.
