How did the relationship with Mizuno start and what was it that made you sign?
Growing up as a young kid, one of my idols was Nick Faldo. He played Mizuno for a long time and was synonymous with the brand. I just loved the style of his game and his work ethic. I felt like he would be someone who went to great lengths to try to make sure he had the best equipment and I think I fell in love with the brand because of Nick Faldo playing it. There’s a picture of me playing in Spain aged nine with a Mizuno golf bag so clearly I liked the brand from a young age.
I think for a long time Mizuno has been known as a great iron maker. Any time you put a club down on the ground, it looks amazing. But the clubs also have a great feel and give you great feedback – certainly the better I got, the more I enjoyed that. I first signed with Mizuno in 2004, my third year on tour, and it just seemed like a natural fit.
I played two years with Ben Hogan before, but then after that contract ran out I decided to go with a brand that was very recognizable to me and I’ve been with Mizuno ever since.
