Fell in love with Quail Hollow the first time I played it and knew it was special. From my first win in 2010 to today, each year the fans, staff, city of Charlotte make the week an unforgettable experience. The fans carried me through today. Thank you for the continued support. pic.twitter.com/PZlk1ou5bB

MMA
Conor McGregor answered all the burning questions.
A conversation came up regarding Celtic first to be honest. To acquire shares from Dermot Desmond. I am certainly interested in acquiring a sports team at some stage! Both Celtic and Man United are teams I like for sure. But I am open. I feel I could do big things for a club. https://t.co/KgD9qnYipP

I have a sweet tooth. I like cups of tea with cakes and donuts and chocolate. These donuts, still warm, arrived to the house today for the kids. I ate not one! I actually got up close to the box for a good smell an all. Stared it right down! Show the willpower! https://t.co/8ANMUTEiQe pic.twitter.com/KgSrD51Pv2
