From the papers
The Independent
15 February 1993
I hit every green and I cannot remember ever playing four rounds better. I only hit two shots that did not go right down the middle and they were only just a bit off line.

Obviously I would like to make the team. I'd also like to win 12 majors. But it's pointless setting yourself targets and I shall just try to play as well as I can in every tournament.
The Independent
15 February 1993
When you start with four birdies in six holes you have no pressure. It is much easier to shoot a 66 than a 74.
