After the first two tournaments of the year, both in Hawaii, overall I’m quite happy. I had one bad round in each of the tournaments, the SBS Championship and the Sony Open, and paid the price. It’s a long way to travel to Hawaii but once you're there, it's worth it. At the Sony Open I had a great round of 62 -8 which for a time held the clubhouse lead. -8 matches my lowest round which I shot in the 2001 Scottish Open at Loch Lomond.
I took a month off over Christmas and it was great to spend it with the family. I worked on my putting and it’s starting to pay off. I’m looking forward to the rest of the year. Next tournament is the Qatar Masters.
