I started playing golf when I was a kid, because across the street from where we lived there was a little nine-hole golf course where my father worked.

I grew up in a family that played golf, and my brother was much better than me, so I kind of put that aside. I had to be good at something other than golf.

I did play other sports growing up. I played cricket and all those other things, but I was just so much more talented in golf, and that's all I wanted to do.

I play golf because it's fun.

Since I was a small boy, I was always around the game. I don't play golf much myself, but I love watching it. My father has played golf all his life.

I started playing golf at about four years old.

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.

When I was growing up, golf was the geeky sport. No one really wanted to be associated with it.

See, as much as I love the game, golf was my vehicle to competition. And I love to compete.

I played a lot of other sports at school and just one day the golf bug bit me and I started playing serious golf from when I was ten years old.
