Rory McIlroy is not sure he can repeat his runaway US Open Championship victory at the final Major of the year this week - but he does believe there is far more chance than at The Open last month.
For one thing, his life is not quite the "whirlwind" it was on his return home from Washington.
For another, the set-up of Atlanta Athletic Club for the US PGA Championship would appear to suit him down to the ground.
Thirdly, he did enough in his sixth-placed finish in last week's World Golf Championships in Akron to show he was back in the mood to become the youngest player to win two Majors since Gene Sarazen nearly 90 years ago.
And fourthly, of course, his stable is on a roll. After Charl Schwartzel at The Masters Tournament, then McIlroy and then Darren Clarke at Sandwich manager Andrew Chandler is on the verge of what because of his nickname has been dubbed the "Chubby Slam".
"I'm playing very well," the 22 year old Northern Irishman said.
"I drove the ball great last week, I'm hitting it nicely, I felt as if I got a really good practice round in yesterday, got all the greens mapped out.
"As long as I can hole a few putts this week, I feel as if I'm in with a good chance."
McIlroy felt last week in Akron that he was finally able to get back to work properly.
"It was a little bit of a whirlwind after what happened at Congressional, but it's nice to feel like you're back out there focusing on trying to win golf tournaments," he said.
"When you dream of winning big tournaments as a kid and you dream of becoming a great golfer, all you think about is the golf.
"You think about how great it is to hopefully be one of the best players in the world and you never really think of the other side of it - the attention, the spotlight.
"It's just something that I'm still getting used to, but it's a nice position to be in. I'm not complaining."
Third on his only two previous appearances in the US PGA, he added: "I love how the PGA of America set the golf course up at this event.
"I think it really suits my game. It puts a premium on ball-striking and I'm looking forward to getting going. I've always thought as if this and The Masters would probably be the two that suited me most.
"I feel very comfortable in this country and playing on the types of golf courses over here. I also get a great response from the crowds - I feel the reception I get is like an American player.”
"At Congressional I didn't let anything get to me. It would be great to be like that this week."
Asked about the possibility of the 'Chubby Slam' he added: "I don't think you can call four Major Champions in the same year a coincidence.
"We're all very comfortable with each other - we've seen one another win Majors, starting with Louis (Oosthuizen) last year and we probably motivate one another."
In terms of the Official World Golf Ranking, the leading member of the stable is still Lee Westwood - and he, of course, is still chasing his first Major.
The course, lengthened and toughened up considerably since David Toms set the lowest total in major history ten years ago, should suit him too.
Westwood would also regain the World Number One spot from Luke Donald if he wins and his fellow Englishman is outside the top ten, but Donald's hopes are high too as he was joint runner-up behind Adam Scott on Sunday.
Either of them winning would establish a new record of seven successive first-time Major Champions, while six Majors in a row already without an American winner has not happened since The Masters Tournament began in 1934.
