I'm basically like everyone else my age and younger," he remarked. I want to come out here and try to join Tiger on some of the trophies that he has won

in incredible historical PGA Tour events that everyone has grown up watching. It is relatively easy.

I'm going to support the Tour, he declared. They've been so kind to me, so I'll do my best to plan my schedule for next year.

he's thinking about competing in one of its tournaments next month.I might attend the Nedbank Golf Challenge back at home in South Africa, he admitted.
