2017: an exceptional year

“Whether on the golf course or off, I would say that 2017 is without a doubt the best year I have had so far. None before had been so rich in every way. "

His win over Justin Rose at Augusta: what made the difference

“It's a funny feeling because I had a few nervous moments where I didn't feel totally comfortable… But because I was extremely calm inside, I was confident. And despite these moments of nervousness, I felt that I had mastered my game. ”

His decisive discussion with his friend Henrik Stenson after his victory at the Open 2016

“I congratulated him, while expressing my joy to him. I remember his answer very well: "I am 40 years old and you are 36. You have 16 Majors left to play before you are 40 and you have all your chances". His words were decisive, especially when they came from someone you respect. He is a friend who has tournament experience, has been close to winning many times and is ultimately successful. "
