I understand golf is a game, and I've never treated it as anything else. Family is something that's very special, and so they all contributed to the room. They all contributed to what my life was, my career was.

I love the golf courses because it brought the best out of me. It made me prepare, made me work at it, made me do the things I needed to do to be better, and that's what I loved about USGA events. If you couldn't handle it, then you got beat, and that's OK.

All I ever wanted to do was play competitive golf against the best players in the world.

I'm deadly serious even when I play tennis against my kids. I want to beat their brains out.

I knew that if I kept the pressure on and didn't do anything stupid I would probably win.

Every putt is different. Your feet dictate the stroke by how they feel on the green. I just never used the same stroke on every putt.

We don't play golf often [with kids] because they don't play that much anymore - because their kids don't play. It's like anything else - fathers these days end up in the parks on the weekends and they have their kids into lacrosse or soccer or whatever it might be.
