TOMMY FLEETWOOD

I tried changing my swing because I thought it would make me better. I thought it would make me a world-class golfer. I was a bit naive and I was a bit silly and just got going the wrong way.

Good putting starts with understanding the difference between a stroke and a hit. You want to make a stroke and let the energy of that back-and-through motion carry the ball to the hole.

There's a lot of worse things going on in the world than me hitting a bad five wood.

I was a big kid who could putt well.

Struggling has done a couple of things for me. It is an experience to have and it makes you appreciate the good stuff.

Expectation is a good thing. I think it shows you're doing a lot of good stuff. Clearly, I'd rather it to be that way than people expecting it to be the other way.

Of course it's a big moment for me in my career if I could win on the PGA Tour.

I got recognized at the market the other day, but, no, nothing that spectacular. There's nobody fainting in the street as I walk past.

No matter what's going on, on the leaderboard, you have to know that par is a very, very good score and just keep playing.

Clare makes life so easy for me. From a business perspective, to being my wife, to being my friend. It allows me to go out and just play golf and work on a daily basis. I consider myself very, very lucky. She's the person I trust the most and when it comes to business, that is extremely important.

I remember going to The Open in 1998 aged seven and snatching a picture of Tiger walking past.

I think when you get to majors, there are definitely certain names and certain people that you've got to beat, and most of the time certain names and people pop up on the leaderboard. But that's the game, and that's what we're here for.

This is my third year in a row where I'm one of those players that has a chance to win the Race to Dubai. I just think it's important this year that I take the experiences of 2017 and 2018 into it and know that it still takes a lot to do it and it's not in my hands at all.

I had a few moments in Hong Kong, the odd minute where you sit down and reflect more than anything of having that ticked off in your career. It's something special.

The U.S. Open was something I loved.

I just had to get on the golf course and play holes whether it was practice or tournaments. Just keep playing. There's nothing else you can do.

The hardest part is finding that time to actually develop your game and get in practice. Literally going week in and week out playing with what you've got a lot of the time.

The hard part is majors are exhausting on their own. They're a long week. So the hard part is your energy levels.

I'm not saying I'm anywhere near the David Beckham league, but because I played well and Moliwood and probably the hair and everything, I did start to get recognized more and more.

If you like dry humor, Henrik Stenson thinks he's very funny, but I think I'm very funny in a dry sense as well.

You can roll the ball a long way with a stroke that has the force of a five-yard chip. Good rhythm and less effort are how you control the putterface and, in turn, the ball.

I think I can compete in any company.

You know, some of the performances, I have put myself on the world stage a bit more.

My driver is my strongest club - it's what my game kind of revolves around.

I have the confidence knowing if the game is on I can win the big events. That's a massive difference. Until you've done it and proven it to yourself, you can't know if you can.
