hurt winning wind
If I thought I had hurt my chances of winning another major just because I was chasing money around, I'd wind up kicking myself.
winning nine six
You can be six behind on the back nine and still win the tournament.
strong father winning
The fame aspect of winning the Masters... besides being married and becoming a father, that's a strong third there.
kids golf winning
I spent hours as a kid on the putting green of the local golf course imagining I was sinking a putt to win the Masters.
dream winning males
Becoming the first Canadian male to win a Major Championship, especially being the Masters, was a dream come true.
buddy dad decided found hockey missed recall skip time upset
The only other time I can recall my dad getting upset at me was when I missed a hockey practice. My parents were away, so my buddy and I decided to skip it. I never told my dad about it, but he found out from the coach.
golf fans looks
The Masters is one of golf's greatest traditions and Augusta is one of the best courses in the world. They are synonymous. It's an event that every golfer, and golf fan, looks forward to.
silly moving looks
The course is going to make you look silly sometimes. You have to be able to accept that and move on.
mean kids golf
If I can raise more money for charities, or get more Canadian kids to play golf, the green jacket will mean even more.
pads action figures
I actually had a Bobby Orr action figure. You could put the pads on him and skates and all that. I was 7, and he was still playing.
country proud
As for my country, I don't live there, but obviously I'm very proud to be Canadian.
fun golf worry
You just don't have the time to worry about what others are doing. You just want to take care of your own business. You are focused on that tee shot on the 10th tee and making it to the finish line. It's one of the most stressful moments in professional golf, but you have worked so hard to get to that point, that it really is fun.
nice play here-and-there
I have a lot of offers to play for appearance fees. It's nice gravy, but it's not a big motivating factor for me, to go here and there just for money.
golf balls bagger
Out here, it's just you and the ball.
