Who would be in your dream fourball?
Gary Player, Luke Donald and Rory McIlroy. Gary Player has been my idol for years. I love how hard he works and like me he’s not a big guy. I have played a practice round with Luke Donald at the US Open before and he has such a great personality. He’s a really great guy on and off the course. And I love Rory’s swing. It’s so efficient. It really is the model golf swing.
What has been your most memorable moment on a golf course?
That would have to be winning The Players Cup on the Mackenzie PGA Tour of Canada earlier this year. It was only my second Tour event and I was three shots back at the turn of the final round. I just played really well over the back nine. I made some long putts including a 45-footer on the 17th to give me a two-shot lead. It was awesome. I was just shocked at how well I played.
What is the best thing about being a professional golfer?
Being able to travel to so many different places and experience the culture of different cities and countries is great. I’ve learned a lot just through travelling to events. But overall, just the fact that I play golf for a living. I just love playing this game.
And the worst?
Being away from my family and friends. Travelling is great but it means I do spend a lot less time with those who are close to me.
