The Englishman said:
"It definitely is 100 percent special. I mean, we all sort of live it together. I’m always in camp with Jon (Haggerty). I think this is the first time I haven’t done camp with Jon in about three, four years. I was heading to Denver to finish camp with Jon and corner him and look after him, and then I got the phone call. So then we decided I had more important things to do than corner."
