easy hard means owned
A muni just means it's owned by the city. It doesn't mean it's an easy or hard course.
self-esteem play careers
My family has reduced the effect of my career on my self-esteem. When I'm with them, they make me feel special regardless of how I play.
winning play guy
Its just as disappointing as it was thrilling to win the Masters. To come very close, to play so hard for 72 holes and play better than everybody but one guy is disappointing.
player media trying
I try to respect everybody out here: players, caddies, fans, media.
morning book fall
I have come to understand and appreciate writers much more recently since I started working on a book last fall. Before that, I thought golf writers got up every morning, played a round of golf, had lunch, showed up for our last three holes and then went to dinner.
winning games numbers
The only way to win tournaments is with the short game. Over half your shots out here are within 30 or 40 yards. Ballstriking is where I'm trying to improve, yes, but more to eliminate big numbers than make birdies.
years want next-year
Well, you know, I don't really want to trade next year. I certainly enjoyed having the jacket put on me rather than putting it on.
thinking winning play
I don't think my style of play is what has prevented me from winning major championships. I think that execution has been more of a factor.
careers perspective feelings
I have not found my perspective on my career change. What I have found is that my life in general has been more fulfilling. To be able to influence an individual's life and on who they become as a person is a very rewarding feeling.
fake-people nice use
It'll be nice not to have to use my fake IDs anymore.
fun hate play
I hate to play a tournament in which I'm not contending. It's just not any fun for me.
orange firsts fans
I remember when I first came out on tour, it was Greg Norman and Nick Price. We forget how big Norman was, what a presence he was. I remember one of my first tournaments, Greg threw an orange peel down on the ground and some fan ran over and grabbed it. 'This is Greg Norman's orange peel!'
winning giving trying
What I like to do is to try to win as many tournaments and as many majors as I can, and with him [Tiger Woods] in the field, it just gives it more credibility, whatever it is I am able to accomplish.
golf winning games
The winner of this tournament doesn't just win a major. He become a part of the history of the game.
