I was so brainwashed about how abnormal this was going to be with all the changes. It's not that abnormal. Even if the course is unbelievably tough, look at the beautiful trees and the flowers. It's a paradise.
I understand. He has got to do it for his knee. He has to get it right. He said he has never been so bored. Having to sit in one place when he has been so active is driving him nuts.
Arnie played 50 years and quit, so maybe I'll play 51 and hang it up.
Ernie is as tough as can be, and I think his performance in the last two majors left him highly motivated. I wouldn't be surprised if he won at St. Andrews.
Everything just sort of jived, as they say, into place.
Being up one point is irrelevant. It's like a mile race and you're 50 yards ahead. There's such a long way to go.
it doesn't matter what happened in the past or what happens in the present, when we tee up tomorrow, it's a new day. It's a brand new game.
If anybody in the world can play two guys, it's Tiger.
I was grinding like I was winning the tournament.

There is so much about him to admire. At 30, Tiger is unquestionably golf's best athlete. Nobody is as mentally tough. He dresses beautifully. What a smile. Incredible all-around talent. Abundant with class. Superb role model.
You have to be there and say, well, how is this possible.
We've obviously got to forget about that and now go on to the best of our ability.
