The Arnold Palmer International saw a return to form, and my highest finish this year, 14th, which I am really pleased about. I'm actually now beginning to feel more comfortable than I have for a long time. I really do feel my game is turning round. It has helped working with Gregor Jamieson at Lake Nona in Orlando, where I have a house. Playing four weeks in Florida has given me a chance to practice especially on my swing plane. When things are going badly I tend to get a little bit across the line at the top of my backswing and a bit shut, so I'm really trying to get it square at the top now.

I'm always trying to work out what's wrong. I knew there were faults in my golf swing. It's easy to think positively when you are hitting the ball well but very tough when you don't. Hopefully the hard work is now starting to pay off.

This week is the last week in Florida. The beginning of the week sees me doing a corporate day for CA, which includes a clinic for kids, I really enjoy these days, working with the juniors is always fun. Thursday sees the start of the CA Championship at Doral Golf Resort & Spa, it is the second World Championship tournament of the year, with a great field, so promises to be a good week. Let's hope the good form from last week continues.

Best wishes
