"We've got people coming [to the World Cup] from all nationalities, perspectives, religions coming into this city. Are we going to get mad? 'Why are all these people coming here?' Or are we going to embrace the diversity that sports brings us?"
- Jameis Winston
Xander on Aaron Rai: "Rarely do you feel like people work way harder than you ...
"I feel like I've played a pretty good amount of time, and Aaron is always there. He's always in the gym. He's always on the range.
"At the Scottish, I'm staying right on site there. I thought it was fun for Austin and I to go putt. Aaron is finishing up his little putting session at 9:00 p.m. and going to the gym at 9:45.
"This was three years ago. I think that's what it's about to be a major champion. You puts the work in when nobody's looking. Super pumped for him and his team."

This was Aaron Rai’s 2014 season on the EuroPro Tour. It was his 3rd season as a pro. That year he made….£886…for the entire season
The next year on the EuroPro he came into their final event needing a good finish to get into the top 5 of Order of Merit and get his Challenge Tour card.
A final round 67 got him into a playoff. He lost but jumped to 5th in OOM and barely earned his Challenge Tour card.
A couple of seasons on Challenge and then onto DP, then PGA Tour and now a Major Champion.
Pretty awesome.
A young Aaron Rai practicing on his homemade putting green in England.
Aged 15, he broke the world record for "consecutive putts holed from 10 feet". He made 207 in a row.
(Average on the @PGATour from 10-feet is just over 41%)
"It took about an hour-and-a-half and afterwards I had a sore back."
About 5 rows from the back of the plane. Pull up to gate, go back to the lavatory. Guy standing seems bothered I need to pass him. I come back out & he won’t let me thru. Says “we all need to get off wait your turn.” It’s gonna be at least 5 more minutes, what are we doing here?
