Holes-in-one?:
I've had three. My first was aged about 23 playing in a mothers-and-sons tournament with my mother. We won the tourament by a shot as a result!

Worst score as a pro?:
I had a 13 at the 17th at the Oxfordshire Golf Course a week after I turned pro.

The Times printed every shot I played on that hole frame-by-frame on the back page.

My mother still has it framed on the wall. Whenever I go up to visit it's always there looking at me!

Last time you topped the ball?:
Two years ago at the Volvo Masters in Spain. It was so bad it was almost a fresh air shot.

I hit a 4-wood and it must have gone about ten yards. It was on TV too! Things like that are good - they bring you back to reality.

Favourite sport other than golf?:
It varies with the season.
