I've seen the bottom and I know the difference between good golf and bad golf.

When I'm swinging well, nobody hits the golf ball any better than I do.

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

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

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.
