When I first came on tour, I was playing for money. Now I'm playing to win golf tournaments and the money is more than I ever dreamed I could make.

I love to crunch numbers. I look at how many fairways I hit, how many greens I hit. I plan my way around the golf course.

I think it’s important for me to play well and set the tone.

On the first tee I kept telling myself, "Trust yourself, you can do it."

There are no shortcuts to success.
