I started to really believe in myself, and my abilities, when I won the World Under-10 championship in Doral, Florida. I was nine and saw for the first time that I was amongst the best players in the world for my age. This was a massive confidence-builder for me.
Rory McIlroyI 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.
Rory McIlroyI'm afraid there are no replays or second chances in amateur or professional golf, and that's the way it should be.
