theglobeandmail 20-DEC-11
|
[-said]: I probably earned enough world-ranking points for a top 50 or 35 player. In the past, that would have been a great season for me,

bbc 03-DEC-11
|
|
[ said]: I am surprised nobody has gone into double figures yet, but there is enough birdies about for it to happen over the weekend. The course is immaculate and is certainly living up to its name, we'll see what happens in the final two rounds,

herald 28-NOV-11
|
[-added]: They're just two American teams and feature four of the best players ever to play the game. So to be able to put your name on a trophy alongside their names would be something special.
bbc 26-NOV-11
|
|
[added:]: I completely agree with Rory because the legends of the game have won this trophy, and to go out there with one of your best friends and experience the highs and lows of this game, and hopefully it will be a high tomorrow, is going to be special.

theglobeandmail 25-NOV-11

theglobeandmail 26-OCT-11

theglobeandmail 26-OCT-11
|

examiner 15-JUL-11

I wasn't swinging it the same way, I wasn't feeling the same way. Sometimes a run of momentum and adrenaline sort of has to hit a brick wall, and I guess I hit my brick wall. I've been trying to get over that wall ever since.
