I've played such good golf, and it was hard coming up and it wasn't easy in any matches or any shots. It means a lot. I think hopefully it will mean a lot to New Zealand because I'm the next winner of the U.S. Amateur after Danny Lee.

I like going there for golf. America's one vast golf course these days.

An American champion, obviously being here in the states, is something that we all look at with the U.S. Open. But golf is played all over the world, and there are so many great golfers from other countries, and we're lucky enough that this is our home base to be able to play out of.

I come from a country that lives and breathes rugby, and I didn't think there would be anywhere else in the world that could be the same. But New Zealand takes it to another dimension. It's extraordinary how much passion Kiwis have for the game.

New Zealand is a place where you can get well.

I think that generally New Zealand is respected for the positions it takes because it thinks them through.

PGA of America has been very good to me; played some of the Junior Ryder Cups, and those go down as some of the best experiences I've had on a golf course.

I would have thought there's no greater country to watch rugby than New Zealand.

A great deal of unnecessarily bad golf is played in this world.

I would like to attract more minorities into the game. But it's extremely important that this golf look like - that golf look like America.
