Everybody saying you can't do this, you can't do that. I don't know why. Guess if you listen to it, you can convince yourself of it.

A lot of amateurs are terrified of going up against a player who is clearly better than they are. They never play their best, because they aren't comfortable. There's one surefire way to get over that, and it's to ask yourself, 'What if I beat him?' Imagine the possibility.

You've got to gamble every once in a while in a round of golf. I'm not afraid to screw up.

I wasn't sure I'd ever win again. Every time I got close, somebody seemed to play a little better.

It's nice to walk into a club and see your picture. Then you know you've done something good.

I never had any thought the whole week. I figured my caddie [Jerry Beard] knew the course a lot better than me, so I put out my hand and played whatever club he put in it. I'd say, "How hard do I hit it?" He'd tell me and I'd swing. The guys who come down here once a year and try to get smart with Mr. Jones' course are the dumb ones.

Because you pray after you play.
