What got you into golf,  who helped you , who encouraged you ?

My sister Karen started at a golf camp and I decided to go along with her. Rick LeStrange the head pro got me started and was a great teacher. He made us work, which I am grateful for now.

Who are the people who have most influenced you ?

My parents and my sister Karen.

What do you recall as you greatest moments in your career and how did it make you feel ?

Watching Karen winning the British Open and my win this year in Boston. Boston was so special because my mum was there to watch me win.

Making myself practice more. I am not a big fan of practicing, but know I have to.

Where do you see yourself today and where do you want to be in 5 years ?

I am very happy right now after the 1999 season and hope in 5 years time, I will be playing as well and just as happy.

What feelings motivate you when playing in high level competition ?   

Being in contention to win is the biggest motivator ever !

What do you like to do when you are not playing golf ?

I have just bought a new house, so going home is great. Also going out with friends, maybe the odd casino or horse meeting.
