In my case what happened next in 1999 was that I fell apart over that back nine. When I saw I was in genuine contention that year I felt like throwing up. That remains probably the most nervous I've ever been on a golf course.
Golf is difficult to get your personality over because you are such a bottle of concentration.
The Singapore Open is the flagship event of the Asian Tour, it is a massive event and it is being played in a great place. I love coming here and it is good to be back.
It's such a psychological and mental game, golf, that the smallest wrong thing at the wrong time can distract you from what you're trying to achieve.
Probably the best caddies are the smartest ones and the ones that are switched on mentally more than some of the others maybe.
Yeah, I feel good. Good about my game and my life.
I'm heavier, but with muscle rather than flab. It's a massive difference. It means I don't get as tired sometimes and it means that I'm hitting the ball a lot farther, about 15 yards more with my driver.
My dad said: 'It looks like you'll be world No.1 in a few hours and I wanted to be the first to say congratulations.'
I'm the best in the world.
I never take myself too seriously.
People confuse being world No. 1 with winning a Major championship.
Yeah, two or three weeks ago I was fairly snappy. I've never been injured before and this year it feels like I've hardly played.
I'm working my way steadily back and I'm feeling good.
I've said before that the Ryder Cup is not the European Tour versus the American Tour. It's Europe's best golfers against the US.
I've started to show the consistency in majors I had in regular tournaments back in 1998-2000 when I was contending nearly every week.
People mature at different stages and I feel I'm learning a lot.
