Once you play a tournament, you're playing against the golf course, you're playing against yourself and trying to do the best you can.

People only do their best at things they truly enjoy

If you want to hit it farther, hit it better.

What's interesting about golf is that most athletes end up gravitating toward golf because it is such a difficult sport.

I think in my case winning fans came as a result of winning tournaments. Certainly, I didn't have too many supporters when I came on Tour. I didn't look like an athlete, I was overweight, had a crew cut, baggy clothes and on top of that I didn't smile much. I was very serious about my game, literally and figuratively the heavy.

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