It's a long, hard, difficult process to make it to a national championship.

The best quick tip in golf is to focus on your rhythm and balance.

Let your emotions come out. If your behavior is flat, your game will be flat, too.

You can talk about strategy all you want, but what really matters is resilience. On the last nine holes of the Masters or the Open, there's going to come at least one point when you want to throw yourself in the nearest trash can and disappear. You know you can't hide. It's like you're walking down the fairway naked. The gallery knows what you've done, every other player knows and worst of all, you know. That's when you find out if you're a real competitor.

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

I don't sleep well. I rehash everything in bed. The mind's still working.

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.
