When your friends win tournaments it is good for you in a way because it does fire you up. You see what it means to them and know you would like to enjoy the same thing.

You don't have to be a mathematician to work out that Rory McIlroy is going to have more chances at 25 than I am at 38. The clock is ticking. It would be nicer to be a multiple-major winner than a major winner. But it would be nice to be a major winner, at the minute!

I want to be the best at what I do when I go out to play golf, and so when I was building my house, I wanted the best.

Most people would say it's the start of golf. When you see the flowers blooming at Augusta National and you hear Jim Nantz come on and start speaking about it, it's that time of year.

I never got to study psychology after leaving school at 15 but I know how to rationalise things and get the best out of myself.

I'm mad enough not to ever need a sports psychologist, because I really believe in myself.
