It\u2019s going to be a lot. It\u2019s going to be very overwhelming at times\u2014and I think the acceptance of that is very important. I try not to push [that pressure] away. I try not to feel like it\u2019s not there, because it is. It\u2019s always going to be sort of hanging over you. There\u2019s always going to be expectations and pressure; that\u2019s what we signed up for when we [decided to] play professional sports. The acceptance of that is a big part of it, and not really trying to push it away but actually try to embrace it and have fun with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-1ood0zq emevuu60\">Going into the Masters, he revealed: \u201cI can\u2019t control everything.
