From the papers
The Independent
2 May 1994
It's amazing how the game of golf changes around. I was 20 under for those last 48 holes and that's pretty good going by anyone's standard.
The Independent
2 May 1994
It's like a drug. I can't leave it alone and I'm swinging there every night.

Second place was all I was going for after Woosie started going away. It was a pleasure to watch him. It's nice that he's back.
The Independent (third-round report)
1 May 1994
For the last couple of years I've been so negative and banging my head against a brick wall. I decided it was time to trust my swing and go for it.
