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.

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 didn't do anything spectacular when I won the Open in 2001. I hit the ball good, not great. I putted good, not great, but I think I missed maybe two putts inside eight feet all week.

I slowly continued to compensate for the physical problems I was having and ended up completely destroying my swing, my set-up, my posture. Everything was gone.

And if people do like me, I think it's because I'm a stand-up guy.

I went to Q-school knowing that I could play well and get through.
