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 love hitting the ball, controlling the ball. And yeah, even the roar of the crowd. I enjoy the roar of the crowd probably less than some players and more than some. But I'm not out here to be a celebrity.

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

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.

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.

It's easy at times to win golf tournaments and shoot 59, and sometimes it's hard to post an 85.

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