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.

Winning is a drive, it's a thing that you feel like when I go to bed at night I go to sleep.

Always make a total effort, even when the odds are against you.

I remember ones I lost [shot]. I remember the ones I won, but I remember the ones I lost, something that I will never forget. Did it ruin me or hurt my career? It taught me about life, how to take the bad with the good.

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 worked for dad on the grounds and I was in high school and I said I wanted to go to college, and he said, well, you figure it out. He said I will pay for your college but you're going to go to St. Vincent. St. Vincent College right here. That's about as much as I can afford, you work here, right here at home. I said, what if I can get somewhere else? And he said if I can get there, that's your call.

I would never felt good if I hadn't experienced losing, because losing is part of your life. And it something that if I could teach people to understand that I think it could help them a lot.
