“I’ve cut out – doctors orders – I’ve cut out the sugar,” revealed the 55-year-old after his second round of the Hawaii event, before adding: “And I’ve joined a pilates class.
“I mean – god – I mean, it’s interesting. The first hour of the first class I’m like, I’m not going back to this thing but then I did and I did and you know, I think I’m hitting the ball further than last year. Better ball flight through the air and I think that has got to do with the pilates.”
