“My dad saw it as a goal before I did, when I was 12 years old. I didn't think competing in Olympics was possible until I was 16.”

“What's really hard is when you're having those more difficult days, you've got to be able to dig down deep and be able to go out there and do what it takes to be the best you can be, even on the hardest days.”

“It's just so overwhelming to think, 'OK, the whole world is watching this!'”

“As an older player, I really look forward to and love being able to mentor younger guys and be able to help them grow as well as going in there competing and trying to win games.”

“I was always very clear when I took some time out to start a family that I wanted to come back and get my teeth into something and of course I could not work for Toto or a competing manufacturer.”
