Confidence is such a fragile and precious thing.

I was in the middle of the golf tournament trying to make birdies and I was just having a blast. So that probably qualifies as having a greater appreciation.

I know the other side. I know what awful golf is.

I've just been working hard, trying to get some good stuff to come out.

I think about what I say. I don't give stock answers. I'm not trying to cultivate an image with the public, like several of the top players do.

The best way to explain it is that I'm not yearning anymore, on or off the course. I appreciate what I have. I feel like I'm blessed.

At the U.S. Open, you're going to make bogeys.
