My dad was a good athlete. My mom had longevity. There were some athletic genes that certainly got passed down.

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.

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

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.

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.

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