sports news world
We live in such a sheltered environment in the United States. I've been fortunate enough to have traveled all over the world, and I've seen things you only read about and see on the news.
children father kissing
I didn't hesitate to kiss my father in public. And that's how I tried to raise my children. We're physical.
media ugly emotion
With the media, I could be quick and ugly and critical. I tend to wear my emotions on my sleeve.
sports team thinking
I went over before the British Open and played Valderrama thinking that I might make the team, might be a captain's pick. I made the effort to go over there.
sports thinking play
For one thing, when you're playing as well as I was at the time, you think you can play with anything. That isn't true, of course, but I didn't know it then.
winning guy down-and
These guys who keep on playing but aren't winning, you've got to sit them down and let them figure it out and perform a little gut-check on themselves.
men excited he-man
Raymond Floyd. The man knows how to control situations. He was experienced. He didn't let me get overly excited; he kept me in check. It allowed me to free myself up, and I played really well with him.
golf thinking healthy
I don't think it's healthy to take yourself too seriously.
want opinion ifs
If somebody asks for my opinion, I tell them my opinion, whether it's what they want to hear or not.
long-distance-relationship fall two
The two-piece ball I switched to spun too much. One shot would go the distance I thought it should, then the next one would fall short, and then the next one would go long.
golf thinking people
If you can't laugh at yourself, then how can you laugh at anybody else? I think people see the human side of you when you do that.
prime prime-time
I'm 42 now, what I would consider prime time.
sports years trying
Then I would have an occasional cigarette and then I started back dipping. I started dipping last year. My family has asked me again to stop, and I'm trying my best to do that.
player world example
For example, I wouldn't hesitate to sit somebody down if he wasn't performing, even if he was the No. 1 player in the world. I've been sat down before.
