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.

Any golfer worth his salt has to cross the sea and try to win the British Open.

You have to love something and have a passion for it to be disciplined. My commitment was purely to golf

If there is one thing golf demands above all else, it is honesty.

I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, in-focus picture of it in my head.

Before every shot, I go to the movies

Sometimes the biggest problem is in your head. You've got to believe you can play a shot instead of wondering where your next bad shot is coming from.
