I look forward to playing, and I enjoy the guys, ... But I'm not happy about the scores I'm shooting. I feel like I'm not devoting enough of my time to making my game better. I'm just like all the people out in the gallery watching this tournament. I never quite think that I won't be able to improve. I always feel like tomorrow I will find that secret to get me back to where I was 30 or 40 years ago.
I quit flying myself last year and that was difficult for me because I enjoy it as much as playing golf. It was an adjustment sitting in the back of the plane, rather than at the controls, but I've grown accustomed to it and enjoy reading a book, doing some work or challenging my wife to a game of dominos.
I enjoy the press. I understand their business.
Concentration, Confidence, Competitive urge, Capacity for enjoyment.
I still enjoy what I do. I haven't been playing much golf and none since I dislocated my shoulder, but I come to the office every day.
I've been playing there since 1955, but now I'm not so sure.
They are all talented and they all have great swings. I don't know that I can keep up with them.
Sam has displayed his talent through the past couple of years and this is an opportunity for a young man to get out and get some experience in the game that might not otherwise come his way. We, we'll see how he does with the big boys. I think that will be great.
Between now and 35 could be the absolute best years of his life. It would be very easy for that to happen, meaning that he could double or triple what he has done in the past.

Tell you what ... I'll wear it at the next tournament I play in.
I would not do well if I did not have anything to do, ... If I had to just stop, not do a lot of the things that I'm doing, I don't think I'd be around very long.
Well, I suppose you could do worse. That's a pretty heavy group with that many victories.
I don't know why they would be nervous around me, ... They way they hit the ball, I got intimidated. They hit it so far it was unreal. It was fun. They're good young players. They knocked the dirt out of that thing.
