What makes the Masters so special for you?
If I won the Masters, I could retire and be happy for the rest of my life. It would give me peace of mind because the one thing I’ve always wanted in my life – other than wanting to be world No.1 – is winning the Masters. It would be a successful career if I just won the Masters.
Do you have any stand-out memories of the event, playing or watching?
Last year was a move in the right direction. I had the lead, and I had the lead again with three holes left. So I know I can get to the point where I am leading the Masters and Majors.
What are your hopes for this year?
I haven’t really changed my game plan much since I first started playing the Masters in 2011, and it’s worked pretty nicely. I’ve just got to go out there and play, and really beat the course. If I shoot under par, that means I’m beating the course.
What’s the key to winning the Masters?
The challenge is not to beat yourself up; just hit the shots. The moment you get in front of yourself or behind yourself is when you start making mental mistakes, and things just start compounding.
