“Well my dad was a pretty good player at one stage and my two older brothers played golf as well. So there were always golf clubs flying around the house.”

“Just about every player on tour has a bad back. It's just one of those games that does mess you up a little bit. You've got to keep looking after it.”

“Golf is growing, and there are more good young players, but you don't see them going abroad. It's so expensive to travel.”

“It was natural for me to go to local tournaments with my mother and watch my brothers compete and sometimes be left with my mom at home while my dad would take my brothers away to different tournaments and competitions. So I started doing everything they did.”

“I was always doing something physical. My brothers and I used to have handstand contests. We'd walk around the projects on our hands and see who could get the farthest. I was always playing football with them, basketball or racing in the street.”
