QUOTES: “I know what it is to be an Olympian as I’ve done it before and I don’t want to be just an Olympian. I want to win a medal, I want to do something that makes a difference. I know winning a PGA TOUR event will do that but winning a medal would even do more. I do have a certain responsibility towards the game and my country.”
