The aggressive people get rewarded here. Those that don't pay a price. I like it here. I like the system.
When you see that many people with a smile on their face, then we must be doing something right.
Let's do something to wake these people up.
When you see that many people with a smile on their face, then you must be doing something right.
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.
Our success is a direct result of knowing how to market a brand and having the right people representing the brand.
I knew today I could shoot myself out of the tournament and I didn't want to do that. I wanted to play consistent, steady golf. I've been doing that now for six rounds of golf going back to The Open, and in truth I'm looking forward to continuing it on.
I knew going into this stretch that it was going to be rigorous, and I had no idea how my body would react so quickly after surgery. In conference with my neurosurgeon and physical therapist, they both believe I simply played too much too soon.
I'm disappointed, but I'm not going to run around like Dennis Rodman and head-butt somebody.
If my competitive level in my game is solid like it's starting to show signs of, I'd much rather go out there and play the regular tour because I still hit the ball long enough. I feel like I'm above average than most players, even on the regular tour, so why not get out there and compete against those guys?
A win is a win. It's just some events have more significance than others. That's all it is. But the title is the title.
Destiny wasn't going to let me win that golf tournament. It wasn't going to happen.
Your last night in this locker room. Damn, I hope so.
Our thoughts and feelings go out to everyone over there.
