There are times when a golfer is tempted to throw her clubs away and forget the whole 'humblin' business.' At other times, she wouldn't trade places with a queen-that's when the shots are long and true, and putts are dropping.

I don't seem able to do my best unless I'm behind or in trouble.

You know when there's a star, like in show business, the star has her name in lights on the marquee! Right? And the star gets themoney because the people come to see the star, right? Well, I'm the star, and all of you are in the chorus.

I expect to play golf until I am 90-even longer if anybody figures out a way to swing a club from a rocking chair.

All of my life I have always had the urge to do things better than anybody else.

I just hitch up my girdle and let 'er fly.
