Everyone has addictions and my problem is that I have 5,000 of them. If it's not drinking, it's gambling; if it's not gambling, it's eating anything from burgers, doughnuts to M&Ms. The only addiction I don't suffer from is chasing women.

It's nice to worry about playing golf and not all the other stuff.

I wasn't this nervous playing golf when I was drinking. It's the first tournament I've won on the PGA Tour in a sober manner, so it's a great feeling knowing I can do it sober. I don't think two years ago I could have pulled this off.

Idea-Advocacy Matrix highlights a couple of things: that good ideas need to be "sold" if they are ever going to see the light of day and bad ideas sometimes do quite well because of the skills of the proponent to sell them.

How you frame an issue shapes how it is viewed by others. Great advocates frame their ideas as problems that need solutions.

I can tell you one thing. I've done this my way. I don't have anybody to blame for this win but me, and I love it.

There are probably some things I could do to keep my flexibility up, but I'd rather smoke, drink diet Cokes and eat.
