The positions I played in football, being a quarterback and a defensive back, you had to kind of have a little independent thinking.

If you're not just a little bit nervous before a match, you probably don't have the expectations of yourself that you should have.

Feeling tired should almost never be an excuse, because your body has huge reserves of energy. But if you eat badly, stay out late, drink too much, and so on, you'll pay a price on the course.

I just never subscribed to the theory that at age 55, you fall off the face of the earth on the Tour...I always felt that was too young of an age for that.

New Zealand has a great reputation in America for golf.

Do I want to tackle a 230-pound guy who's running like a deer? Heavens no, no one in their right mind would. But there is something that drives me and compels me to stick my head in there and give it my best shot.

Early in my career, my 3-, 5- and 9-irons performed differently than my other irons. But I adapted and made them work.
