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 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 way I grew up playing, and the way most Americans have grown up, is that you hit the ball up in the air and then it stops where it lands.

I'm content. I want to have better success in the tournaments than I've had, but I know I'm playing well, so I'm happy with that.

You've got to make an effort on your own. Some people don't even try.

Confidence comes from hard work. It comes from facing different situations and making putts. It comes from knowing you've worked on the right things, so when you get under the gun, you can execute what you've practiced.

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.
