thinking yesterday focus
Think not of what you did yesterday, but what you can do for yourself today.
hard pressure won
There's a lot of pressure on you when you haven't won in 24 years. You put pressure on yourself. It's really hard to describe.
cocky faith family full golf second tough
I think you're not as tough and cocky as when you're young and full of energy. I got humbled. I had to reorganize my life. I had to put my faith first, my family second and my golf third.
circle golfing huge humbled maybe mean open players win
I think it's probably as significant as any win I've ever had for me personally. Maybe not for the golfing world, because it's not a U.S. Open or a Players Championship, but for me it's a huge win ... to be out of the winner's circle for 24 years. I mean that's a long time. And I'm just humbled that I could come back and do it.
guarantee majors matter players
I guarantee you that the players think it's a major. Majors are a matter of perception.
golf swings games
Dennis Murray is a wonderful Golf Professional who is personable and skillful as an instructor. Dennis helped me work on my golf swing for a full week back in the 80's when I was still playing the PGA Tour. His instruction was great and helped my game very much.
art golf what-matters
Having a great golf swing helps under pressure, but golf is a game about scoring. It's like an artist who can get a two-inch brush at Wal-Mart for 20 cents or a fine camel-hair brush from an art store for 20 dollars. The brush doesn't matter - how the finished painting looks is what matters.
