I never prayed that I would make a putt. I prayed that I would react well if I missed.

The first time I played the Masters, I was so nervous I drank a bottle of rum before I teed off. I shot the happiest 83 of my life.

The sweetest two words are 'next time.' The sourest word is 'if.'

A golf ball is like a clock. Always hit it at 6 o'clock and make it go toward 12 o'clock. But make sure you're in the same time zone.

I've heard people say putting is 50 percent technique and 50 percent mental. I really believe it is 50 percent technique and 90 percent positive thinking, see, but that adds up to 140 percent, which is why nobody is 100 percent sure how to putt.

I don't fear death, but I sure don't like those three-footers for par.

Red meat is not bad for you. Now blue-green meat, that's bad for you!
