mean years eight
I'm 37, I'm pretty fit and feel I have another eight years left - which means there's 32 Majors still to go at.
years lasts week
Even when I finished third at the U.S. Open a few weeks back, I didn't putt very well, nor in the last round of last year's Masters when Mickelson won, nor last year's Open at Turnberry, where I came second.
months inches eighteen
Eighteen months ago I weighed 95kg and had a 40-inch waist. Now the waist is down to 34 inches and I weigh nearly 98kg.
hard-work mean way
Yes, a Major would mean so much to me but I'm a great believer that if you work hard and in the right way, you will get what you deserve.

I've said before that the Ryder Cup is not the European Tour versus the American Tour. It's Europe's best golfers against the US.
years lasts hitting
I'm hitting it better than last year. The putting is getting close now, too.
golf tennis over-you

sarcastic sarcasm sense-of-humor
Sometimes Americans don't quite get my sense of humor. My good ol' British sarcasm seems to go over their heads.

A fantastic golf course and venue. It's one of those places that you always look forward to going back to...no matter how many times you have been there before.
feel-good feelings way
I'm working my way steadily back and I'm feeling good.
disappointment good-day golf
No, I don't have any problems leaving disappointments behind. I've had lots of good days at golf and a few disappointments, so you never know what's around the corner.
I never take myself too seriously.

smile golf people
People always say golfers don't smile. But there is so much psychology in golf so we have to be a bit robotic.
