It's been a year since I played the Bank of America Colonial, but the lessons I learned have stayed with me. As a result, my chipping and bunker play have improved. So have my shotmaking and performance under pressure. Since hitting that first fairway at Colonial with the world looking on, I've felt like I can do anything.

I played in the Colonial -- plus two skins games with the guys last fall -- to test my game against the best male players and learn some of their secrets.

Warning: These tips come from the world's top players; they may not be right for you. But you'll have fun finding out. I know I did.
