From the papers
The Independent (Guy Hodgson)
5 June 1995
I don't know what's happened. I've got a bad eye and almost had pneumonia and I've won the English Open. If I get healthy I suppose I'll start missing cuts again.
The Independent (Guy Hodgson)
5 June 1995
It's my fourth and I've still to win one. I don't know why it goes wrong, just a coincidence I suppose. I know if I get there enough I'll win one.
