(On his motivation after taking time off)

"I think, no the motivation has always been there. I've always wanted to play and try and win. Out of the three months that I took off and then you take some time off here and there, I think I practiced maybe a month out of four-and-a-half, five months, of just solid practice. So I mean it's, if you're putting two and two together, it just doesn't add up because obviously with the amount of time that you've had off and the limited time that you have practiced, the expectations are still high but without the hard (work), I've been putting in the work but obviously I took those three months off because of family reasons. And that's why I wanted to do it."

(On his nerves ahead of the Masters)

"It's good, I mean I'm nervous because I mean obviously this is one tournament that I've always wanted to win. But in the same breath I just can't get too far ahead of myself because I have to focus on this week. I mean I can't really get to April until I try and play this week and then next week and take it a step at a time."
