And when you get a few, you really load up. It's just that simple.

It was a blueprint, basically, for how to get there, to win the championships.

If you dont see me on tour, its because I have found happiness away from winning, and that might be the biggest achievement I could ever accomplish.

No one prepares to lose ... we prepare to win.
