It will be a great story when I'm an old man telling my grandkids that I was once the best player in the world.
From Luke Donald
I'm sure people see me as quiet and someone who keeps things to himself a little bit. I might be quiet, but there's a lot of fire inside me, and hopefully people see that sometimes.
I am not a bomber. I'm more about precision and being target-oriented. I have to rely on all parts of my game firing if I'm going to win.
There is more to the game than hitting it far. There are ways to make birdies other than hitting 350-yard drives. I pride myself on a good short game; I work very hard at it.
I'm not a 'big picture' sort of guy. I prefer making small improvements each day.
Chicago is fun. We've spent a lot of time there, about 15 years. My wife's parents and family live in Chicago, so that's a big selling point.
I've never played the Olympic Club. I have played Lytham, but only some amateur events. I haven't played Kiawah.
Dad was certainly a free spirit and had his own ways. He was very proud of my golf achievements but more proud of the person I've turned into. He brought me up to lead a very balanced life.
The message I really want to get out there is that I'm someone who works hard, gets the most out of his talent, off the course has a great family life.
I'm sick at myself for not winning more. But I am always trying to find ways to make myself a better player. I am not just turning up to make up the numbers.
