For the first time, he spoke briefly about the phone call he made to Norman last week.

"He wasn't happy. But let's not go there ... let's just say he wasn't happy," said Hensby.

"Some people are saying it's gone to my head since I've made a bit of money, and I'm saying things. But it's no different from when I wasn't making any money, just that nobody asked me then.

"I won't hide my opinion. I might have to choose my words a bit better and take a bit more time before I speak. But I don't feel burned at all."

Hensby said locker room reaction to his outburst had been split, but declined to say whether support outweighed the opposition.

"There was some good, some bad," he said. "I didn't expect it to be such a big thing at the time, but it was a week ago now. If you worried about what happened last week in golf, you'd never be successful. I'm not out here to make a name for myself. I want to do my job, play golf and win majors."
