I open the driving range and I close it. I thought you ought to know that I work hard. I like practising. I enjoy it. If I did not enjoy it I would not do it. What is the point of going back to the hotel, having a drink and talking a load of bull?
I've learned so much through life. Starting off in Asia, the cultures, the people you meet, the poverty you see. It's been a great education for me, and I've loved every minute of it.
I'm playing really good and I'm hitting the ball very well off the tee. The only part of my game that is not as strong as last year is probably my putting. It's kind of gone down some. I threw away a lot of tournaments this year.
They tend to take away the advantage of a longer hitter here. You don't just stand on the tee and bomb your drives.
When it's windy and cold, we never go out there.
I've won a lot of times with my wife and son here, and I've won solo. I don't think there's a formula for when the come out and when they don't I'm simply happy to win.
Dr. Parent has been a great influence on my mental game. ZEN GOLF is the best book at connecting golf and the mind together. It's for everyone, it really helps, and you're really going to enjoy it.
