“I’ve got special memories here, and obviously all my friends and family were there when I lifted the trophy last year. That moment will live with me until the day I die. It’s going to be difficult, but I believe I can win it again.” “I know I can do it, I know I’ve got the game and my game’s still there so it’s just a matter of time before there’s another win under the belt and hopefully it’s not too far away.“I have done in the past. I’m sometimes my own biggest critic and I’ve just got to forget that now.
