I had two older brothers, so I was always competing with them. The guys I grew up with on the golf course, when I was 13, they were 15 or 16, and I was always trying to beat them.

I have a lot of offers to play for appearance fees. It's nice gravy, but it's not a big motivating factor for me, to go here and there just for money.

If I can raise more money for charities, or get more Canadian kids to play golf, the green jacket will mean even more.

I spent hours as a kid on the putting green of the local golf course imagining I was sinking a putt to win the Masters.

As for my country, I don't live there, but obviously I'm very proud to be Canadian.

Out here, it's just you and the ball.

Becoming the first Canadian male to win a Major Championship, especially being the Masters, was a dream come true.
