The most rewarding things you do in life are often the ones that look like they cannot be done.

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.

An athlete must have a certain cockiness to succeed and win, but an athlete must also care about the game he or she plays.

First time I met Jack [Nicholas ] I had heard about his golf and prowess - I was playing in the Ohio amateur.

I've always made a total effort, even when the odds seemed entirely against me. I never quit trying; I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.

Putting is like wisdom - partly a natural gift and partly the accumulation of experience.

I started [flying] by being scared. When I was an amateur I played a couple tournaments and I had to fly, and got into weather and stuff, and it scared me, and I decided that would not work, I had to learn to fly, I had to find out about airplanes and aeronautical engineering and what it was all about.
