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.

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.

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

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.

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

Competitiveness is a personality thing and competitive people don't become pushovers the day they turn fifty.
