I was very excited when I first started to travel so much. In fact, I was amazed that people were paying me to travel to play the game I loved.

The flight I'm most excited about is the one that takes me back to Northern Ireland to visit family and friends.

With success comes expectation, and I know the expectation on me is going to be pretty high.

You get thrown off balance out there. And I never recovered. Well, I haven't recovered yet.

I realise that every time my face is on TV or I'm playing in a tournament, that I am a role model for a lot of people and a lot of kids do look up to me. I try to do my best in that regard and put myself across as honestly and as modestly as possible, as well.

It's a great feeling to know that I've played the best golf throughout the season of any of the guys for the second time in three years, it's really nice.

I always got very excited about the Masters as a kid. I could hardly wait until the Wednesday when you'd get the BBC's preview. And I'd then be glued to the screen until Sunday night.
