To be successful in anything, a person must always want to be better, not only than your opponent but better than your last performance. Done correctly, being competitive is a wonderful way to always try to be a better person by learning from your mistakes and capitalizing on your successes.

I never underestimate my opponent, but I never underestimate my talents.

I can forgive the body breaking down. It's a little tougher to forgive that mental lapse.

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.

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.

I still have the desire to succeed, and I've always felt success is measured by what you've done in the win column, not top 10s.

On the PGA Tour, guys finish in the top 10, make a ton of money and think they're great players. In my era, you had to win. We didn't settle for anything else.
