00:00I'd like to start this press conference with a question myself.

00:03What are we all going to talk about next year?

00:08I've carried that burden since August 2014.

00:12It's been 11 years, nearly 11 years.

00:16I'm not just about winning my next major, but the career Grand Slam,

00:21you know, trying to join a group of five players to do it.

00:25And honestly, you know, what came out of me on the last screen there in the playoff

00:31was, you know, at least 11 years, if not 14 years of pent-up emotion.

00:41Yeah, no, look, it was a heavy weight to carry.

00:43And, you know, thankfully now I don't have to carry it, and it frees me up.

00:47And, you know, I know I'm coming back here every year, which is lovely.
