To me I've just really, really found a relaxed, peaceful side of my life and I'm enjoying it.
What's a good tournament for him? Winning it. He's good enough.
When you see that many people with a smile on their face, then you must be doing something right.
I don't see myself playing or adjusting my schedule for senior tournament golf.
Well, I think any national championship is an extremely important championship to play in.
We've got to abide by the rules. We have to protect it. The game of golf at a professional level is so clean. We are our own judge, jury and executioner. If we don't do what we think is right, the game might get away from us.
I'm a very intense person. When I go after something, I want to go after it with everything I have. I want to push myself to the edge.
Putting is a very personal affair.
I wouldn't call it bitter. I think it's just sweet. I've always believed my life seems like it's gotten better and better as each decade has gone by. So I don't see any I don't see any bitterness about it.
You expect success, you respect failure.
It's not the victories that count to me. It's the quality of how you deliver your losses and the quality of how you deliver your victories.
People in this room must have back problems, I'm sure some of us do, and it is really, really one of the worst pains and debilitating parts of your body that you can actually have because you really can't do anything in your life when you have it.
There is no room on the golf course for anger or self-pity.
Every time you lose, you think that life's unfair. You think of the bad breaks. But when you're winning and playing well, you still get those bad breaks, only you overcome them. It just depends on how strong your mind is.
