Quotes
- "I'm a true Capricorn. Once I have a goal in mind, I immediately begin pursuing it."
- "In golf, you're not reliant on others, and, when you do make a mistake, you have no one but yourself to blame."
- "At the end of 2006, when I announced that I wanted to turn pro during a press conference, the journalists asked me what my goal was. I answered that I wanted to be number one in the world."
- "If you want to beat your three older brothers, you have no choice but to push yourself to the limit. That is the same mentality I have as a top athlete: do everything in your power to win and to reach the top."
- "The accident could have been far worse, though. I understood why my father made me stop ski jumping. I was ten when that happened. Even now I'd dare to go off a ski jump, but I don't think that would be a very smart thing to do."
- "Whenever my friends and my brothers would go out to bars, I usually stayed home. I quickly realized not only what I had to do, but also what I had to give up, in order to reach the top."
- "Doesn't every elite athlete strive to be number one? I'm not saying that I'll become the best golfer in the world, but I will do everything in my power to reach that first-place position."
- "Golf is never boring. I'm so busy with golf now that I no longer play with friends. That will definitely happen again once I retire from being a professional golfer. Nice and relaxed golf, goofing around with my friends - that sounds great to me."
