Q: Items that are always in your bag?

A: Food. I usually have a sandwich, a protein shake, fruit and a bar. Sharpies, ball markers with bling, or something that has a special meaning like a peace sign or like a yin and yang sign.

Q: Greatest athlete in the world right now?

A: Usain Bolt. He's broken a few records, and winning almost every race.

Q: What did you buy with your first serious pay cheque?

A: I framed it. It's still up in my house right now.

Q: Most fashionable golfer?

A: Let's go with Cheyenne Woods. I think what she wears looks really good for her and she mixes colour very well.

Q: Most memorable pro-am partner?

A: I played with Graeme Baxter, a famous golf painter, a couple of years ago.

Q: Woman you most admire?

A: Beyonce. She has limitless energy, is true to herself and very confident and creative, and a great dancer.

Q: Most underrated golfer out there?

A: Justin Rose. I think he has tons of talent, he has won a lot of championships and he's always kind of working on the back. He's going to have a breakthrough.
