Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Hi! How's life? On the course it's not too good for me. I haven't even been near the number one spot of the European Order of Merit since I won it in 2000. But apart from that I'm having fun with films, snooker and cars. And luckily Nottingham Forest is doing well. Besides that, I'm happy with my wife Laurae and my son Samuel. Who cares about golf?
2. Have you seen the latest games? They're awesome. When I'm not golfing, I'm behind my computer. Gaming. Or Real Madrid has to play a homematch when I'm around. Then I'm definitely in Santiago Bernabeu. Hasta la vista, amigos!
3. After winning my first Masters, I had everything. I thought. A beautiful wife, a big house, a fast car and lots of money. Still I wasn't happy. It all changed when I discovered the Bible. Nowadays I even do Bible sessions for my colleagues at the Tour. And I'm a happy man.
4. Shark fishing is my game, although not really possible in my home country of Sweden. That's why I moved to Florida. Who am I?
5. A golfball, fast? No way. You know what's fast? Cars, motorcycles and aeroplanes. I guess that's just why I love them. Scotland wasn't fast enough for me. The United States are. That's why my wife Jolande and my kids Stuart, James, Alexandra and Quintin went there. And I must say, Ponte Vedra Beach is not a bad place to live. Nevertheless we moved back to Balquhidder in Scotland in 2002.
6. The day I decided to play golf, was the day I saw Jack Nicklaus win the US Masters on television. Until then, cycling was my main game. And, looking back, the choice wasn't wrong. Golf made it possible for me to have helicopter flying as a hobby. Okay, it cost me a divorce, but I'm still happy with my three kids Natalie, Matthew and Georgia. The only thing bothering me, is my middle name. Whose idea was it to call me Alexander?
7. I know I'm not a bad golfer. I'm on the Tour since 1988, I've won tournaments, played in the Ryder Cup and earned more than three million dollars. But why, why do people only remember me as the man standing up to his ankles in the water during the British Open?
8. Winning the Pensacola Open turned out to be the worthy start of an impressive career, which brought me lots of victories and loads of money. With my wife Sarah and my children Thomas and David I can do whatever I want. Collecting Harley Davidsons? No problem! Just one disappointment: the cancelling of the Ryder Cup 2001, when I was to make my US captain debut.
9. Young, talented, loaded with money and still single. Come on out girls, where are you? They say I could become a real threat to Tiger, but I have to wait and see. They already expected too much after this South African born guy came in fourth in the British Open. As an amateur. I fell deep, but climbed up. And now I'm gonna stay at the top!
10. I have won a major, made some Ryder Cup appearances, have a lovely family with two kids and enjoy things like hunting, fishing and designing golf courses. In a few words: life is good. Just too bad my father didn't live to see it. He died in a planecrash.
