Because I Lived So Close

I Receive Huge Support From Irish And British Sports Fans Alike And It Is Greatly Appreciated. Likewise I Feel I Have A Great Affinity With The American Sports Fans. I Play Most Of My Golf In The U.s. Nowadays And I Am Incredibly Proud To Have Won The U.s. Open And U.s. Pga Championship In The Last Two Years.

I Started To Really Believe In Myself, And My Abilities, When I Won The World Under-10 Championship In Doral, Florida. I Was Nine And Saw For The First Time That I Was Amongst The Best Players In The World For My Age. This Was A Massive Confidence-builder For Me.

My Game Wasn't Where It Should Have Been At All At The Start Of The Year. I Got Into A Couple Of Bad Habits On My Swing, And It Just Took Me A Little Bit Of Time To Get Out Of Them.

My Parent Are Very Proud, But Dad Ripped Into Me For Throwing A Club On The 11th. He's Happy With The Way I Played, But He Always Has To Have Something To Moan About!

The Next Time I Cry About Golf It Will Only Be With Joy. It's Not Worth Crying Over Golf For Any Other Reason. After All, It's Only A Game.
