If the athlete is fair with the press, he deserves fairness back.

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

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.

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.

I stopped playing in the Masters in 2004, I stopped playing in the Par-3 [Contest], and now it's time to end this part of my Masters career. I would love to go on doing it forever, but I don't have the physical capability to hit the shot the way I would want to hit it. So I'll have to be content to watch.

I'm not much for sitting around and thinking about the past or talking about the past. What does that accomplish?

The secret of concentration is the secret of self-discovery. You reach inside yourself to discover your personal resources, and what it takes to match them to the challenge.
