From the papers
The Independent (Mark Garrod)

I was not happy being a run-of-the-mill player, especially not seeing Sergio Garcia playing in Ryder Cups and Justin Rose doing all sorts of things too.
The Independent (Mark Garrod)

I consider myself as good as them and I wanted to do myself justice.
BBC Sport

This is the first time I've been in this situation and I didn't know what to expect. But I coped with it better than I thought I would.
