Well, if you take the view that Tiger [Woods] is going to win two every year that leaves only two majors for the rest of us.

We all grew up watching Jack and what he achieved. It was a record that was untouchable. And now Tiger is coming. There are a few people cursing their luck now. You have to beat Tiger. If he stays fit and healthy . . . can he achieve the impossible? He's on his way.

There's a few people cursing their luck now. But you have to beat Tiger. If he stays fit and healthy ... he has 10 of these majors now, and we all know Jack had 18. Can he achieve the impossible? He's on his way.

If I win I get to the top of the Order of Merit.

I would wrap up all the other seven titles and place this one ahead of all of them. Last year was my worst and, being 83rd in the world, winning money lists was a long way off.

It's not a ceremonial thing. Losing in Ireland is not an option. We have a golden opportunity to win three times in a row, which we've not done before.
