I always look to see what Arnold [Palmer] shot; it's a habit. We will always compete against each other.

A big part of managing a golf course is managing your swing on the course. A lot of guys can go out and hit a golf ball, but they have no idea how to manage what they do with the ball. I've won as many golf tournaments hitting the ball badly as I have hitting the ball well.

I'm more proud of the good rounds I've played while hitting the ball badly than of the great rounds while hitting the ball well. I understand my swing well enough to get myself through a tournament and win it. I've made it work.

For years, I never thought I needed a short game. Finally I just decided to do something about it. I needed to get up and down from tough spots on the par-5s for my birdies. So I went to Phil [Rogers]. He's the best. For the last couple weeks, Phil has been staying at my house and we've been practicing in the evening.

Pursue what you love, what you are passionate about. Don't let somebody else dictate your life's path.

This is a game. That's all it is. It's not a war.

Pressure is what you live for...if you are going to be successful in life, you're going to have pressure.
