But if I played well and prepared myself properly, then all I had to do was control myself and put myself in a position to win.

I think we have more good players today [2016] than we've ever had in the game of golf. And I think that's saying a lot because we had a lot of good players when I played.

There is no room in your mind for negative thoughts.

Golfers have a tendency to be very masochistic. They like to punish themselves for some reason. A lot of them like tough courses.

Golf really excites me only when the course is difficult and challenging. I love competing. The pressure of competition against fine holes and fine players makes me feel very much alive.

Confidence is when you stand over a shot and know you're going to make it because you've done it time and time again.
