I love America. I wanted to play golf.

My grandson Sam Saunders has been playing golf since he could hold a club and I spent a lot of time with him over the years. Like my father taught me, I showed him the fundamentals of the game and helped him make adjustments as he and his game matured over the years.

I've always been a big thinker that the more international competition that we create through sports the better relationships we'll have with countries.

I talk to golfers, I talk to my grand kids about their game, and tell them to develop a system, Now, when they're young. And if they develop that system, it will be the crutch they need to be good. To know that system and make it work for you, know what it is and make it work.

Golf never ceases to be a challenge, even when it really is just you and the ball out there and nobody else.

I would not have been able to accomplish a lot of what I did professionally had I not learned to fly myself and owned an airplane. For example, I was able to fly to an exhibition for the day and be back home in time for dinner. I never would have been able to do that flying commercially.

I look back, it taught me something - it taught me how to live, how to be a better guy, not let defeat be the end of my life.
