Growing up, I always dreamed of winning a major championship.

Who wants to miss their opportunity of playing in a Major... A golfer's career is all about it. The lesson I have learnt is that I will tee up for the Majors only when I am 100 percent fit.

I have been requesting the government because it is the government which has to allocate the land to build public courses. I am willing to meet the minister and discuss ways to make courses public and more accessible to the regular sports enthusiasts.

Golf in India is considered an elite sport. It is not possible for everyone to play in private courses. We need to give opportunities to all who want to play the sport. And for that, we need public golf courses.

For golf, being in the Olympics is a big boost. More so for Indian golf.

Injuries is a part of a sportsmen life; you have to live with it. You can't be down with that; it is not gonna help you.

One can have many regrets in life, but they are temporary. There are lessons to learn from every mistake.

My parents have always told me to work hard. My father was a friend, a very good friend, but when he needed to be a father, he was.
