When I was in high school, there's no doubt I was trying to swing like Tiger Woods when he first came on tour.
To win a major championship - I think, at the end of the day, that's what a golfer's career is based upon.
There's one guy who inspired a nation of golfers, and that's Greg Norman. He's been incredible to me and all the great golfers.
You know, I go to work in a great office every day, and the amount of freedom that goes with being a pro golfer on the tour is awesome. So I get to enjoy my weeks off away from the course, and then I get to go to work on some of the best golf courses in the world out here.
To make a couple putts to win the Masters is just an amazing feeling.
The good part is if I play a solid round of golf, it will be very hard for the others to beat me. And that's all I'm thinking about.
It is amazing that it is my destiny to be the first Aussie to win the Masters.
I keep a very low profile in Switzerland. There are only about 2,000 people in the village I live in, so it's a quiet town.
