I love America. I wanted to play golf.

On the Old Course at St. Andrews: This is the origin of the game, golf in its purest form, and it's still played that way on a course seemingly untouched by time. Every time I play here, it reminds me that this is still a game.

I enjoyed the fans thoroughly, and they were always helpful. They were the reason that I tried so hard over the years.

I never met a winner who had a work ethic. Not somebody who says I have so much talent that naturally I won.

Sam Snead will fly anywhere in my plane with me. Sam's not as worried about the danger as he is about saving money.

I never felt I could be a complete professional without having won the British Open. It was something you had to do to complete your career.

The game is so fantastic, and people who get into it love it so much...I'd be pleased with that. There's no game like it.
