If somebody asks me whether I'd rather sink the winning putt in the Ryder Cup or win a major, it's the major every day. World championship or Ryder Cup? Win a world championship. At the end of the day you're going to be remembered for what you achieve in an individual sport.

I'm afraid there are no replays or second chances in amateur or professional golf, and that's the way it should be.

As long as I keep enjoying my golf, then hopefully I'll be able to play well.

How can I intimidate Tiger Woods? I mean, the guy's got 75 or whatever PGA Tour wins, 14 majors. He's been the biggest thing ever in our sport. How could some little 23-year-old from Northern Ireland with a few wins come up and intimidate him.

You know I need that cockiness, the self-belief, arrogance, swagger, whatever you want to call it, I need that on the golf course to bring the best out of myself. So you know once I leave the golf course, you know that all gets left there.

I feel like I came through this year stronger and wiser, and I can go into 2015 in a much better place.

I don't really remember, but from about the age of five I told anyone who would listen that I was going to be the best golfer in the world.
