I was national amateur champion. I was 24 years old. My father was there, and I couldn't wait to see him, and my mother. I went up and was waiting for all the accolades, and my mom was teary and happy and my dad looked at me and said, "Well, boy, you did good," and that was it.

I had a system, and the system worked.

When you play by the rules, defy mental demons, overcome every challenge, and enjoy a walk in the country at the same time - that's being alive.

My father started on this golf course at Latrobe when he was sixteen years old. He was digging ditches when they were building the golf course.

I think, first of all, I'm very proud of Sam Saunders in general. I am happy to see him playing well and his performance has been good. He is coming on as I hoped he would at this stage of his life.He is a fine young man as well as a fine golfer. He is doing things the right way.

I can't afford the luxury of music while I'm flying an airplane. I have to pay attention to what I'm doing.

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.
