Everybody teaches a system. I just try to shoot where I'm aiming. I play by sight and feel not by technical thoughts.
Always count your blessings. Be thankful you are able to be out on a beautiful course. Most people in the world don't have that opportunity.
There is no truth in the idea that the person who hits the most balls will become the best golfer. Golf is a bizarre sport. You can work for years on your game, without making any improvement in your score.
The press still considers me one of the most laid-back athletes since Babe Ruth. That's supposed to be a criticism, but I consider it a compliment because I think being carefree on the course is one of the secrets to scoring well consistently
When you're prepared, you're more confident. When you have a strategy, you're more comfortable.
When I'm playing well, I don't even take aim.
I don't answer the phone. I get the feeling whenever I do that there will be someone on the other end.
Annika surprised us all. That was icing on the cake.
I held us back, ... basically said, 'Just hit it and we'll go find it. I'll carry us.'
I'm disappointed, but I like the way I played and it was a lot of fun.
I'm disappointed, but I like the way I played and I had a lot of fun. I'm certainly tired now, but I made it through 31 holes (Sunday) and hung in there for a long time.
I love it, I think it's just hard.
In better ball? That's best ball? That's when you use his seven or eight birdies every round? That's pretty surprising. But again, I've watched a lot of it, and I think he's ready to change all that.
In a tournament like this, I don't know if there are that many young guys here. Here, the age is a huge factor. I just feel like I can save a shot or two on the course if everything's going well.
