I never worried about money, except that I knew that all I had to worry about was golf. As long as I could play, I was going to make money.

It takes hundreds of good golf shots to gain confidence, but only one bad one to lose it.

That's sort of overkill. We've had 70 years of the Ryder Cup, and it's gotten along just fine. The pendulum will swing back without making a monumental thing about it.

I came back and in '63, I was at the British Open, trying to win my first British Open. And I had what I thought was a two-shot lead with two holes to play at Lytham. I remember it like it was yesterday. Anybody with a proper brain would have played the ball short of the hole. I didn't have a proper brain at the time. But you have to make that mistake to learn it.

One of the worst mistakes you can make in golf is trying to force the game.

When I want a long ball, I spin my hips faster.

Nobody ever remembers who finished second at anything.
