I was a hotshot as a junior. When I was 18, I really got into fiddling around. I completely lost interest in golf, and I guess all I could think about was going to college, getting married and having babies.

I worked at the golf course, and I always had dreams and aspirations of being a professional golfer.

I have a special feeling for Blue Hills CC, where I won perhaps the most important tournament of my life when I was 14 - the Kansas City Match Play Championship. It gave me a dream of becoming a professional golfer.

Had I not become a professional golfer, I think I would have pursued some type of career in aviation.

All I ever wanted to do was play competitive golf against the best players in the world.

I've always wanted to be a professional golfer and I'm glad that came true.

I always wanted to be the best I could be at whatever I did. I didn't want to be the number one golfer in the world. I just wanted to be as good as I could be. I work hard, I push myself hard, and I probably even expect too much of myself.

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 started playing golf at about four years old.

I played hockey in the winter, and then I would play golf in the summer. But I always knew I'd be a golfer.
