I was the first son and first child. When my sister came along, well, she was two years younger, and I had to go to the golf course because my mother couldn't handle all the action going on. So I came with father to the golf course since I was a year and a half old and I spent the day with him here, and it worked in naturally. And it was fun for me being with my father, and doing things that a kid did it was great.

The fans, I loved them. My mother would be in the gallery, I would look right at my mother and not remember.

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.

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

I think today's athletes generally are spoiled by what's happened to salaries, but I also think that golfers have maintained the best demeanor of any sport.

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

When you get into competition and get under pressure, and get over that ball and are looking at it, and know you have to hit it, it is having that system to depend on to get that ball to where you want it to be.
