You hear stories about me beating my brains out practising, but the truth is, I was enjoying myself. I couldn't wait to get up in the morning, so I could hit balls. When I'm hitting the ball where I want, hard and crisply, it's a joy that very few people experience.

You never fight your eye when you look at a hole. If it looks one way, play it that way. Don't make a big deal out of an easy shot.

When you see an opportunity, you practice and work, at least from sunup to sundown.

Jesus Christ can't hit a golf ball straight. It's virtually impossible - at best it's an accident.

A shot that goes in the cup is pure luck, but a shot to within two feet of the flag is skill.

I play with friends, but we don't play friendly games.

I liked to win, but more than anything, I loved to play the way I wanted to play
