You always knew when Seve walked in a room even if you had your back to him. He oozed charisma and brought a whole new meaning to aura.

Sometimes Americans don't quite get my sense of humor. My good ol' British sarcasm seems to go over their heads.

Now I'm giving up a little in the week-to-week tournaments but reaping the benefits in the majors.

I've started to show the consistency in majors I had in regular tournaments back in 1998-2000 when I was contending nearly every week.

In my case what happened next in 1999 was that I fell apart over that back nine. When I saw I was in genuine contention that year I felt like throwing up. That remains probably the most nervous I've ever been on a golf course.

Listen, everything I did in my childhood was competitive. Everything we did my dad made it into a game to win. We used to drive my mum nuts.

I know I'm good enough to contend in each and every major I play.
