The hardest thing in golf is trying to two-putt when you have to, because your brain isn't wired that way. You're accustomed to trying to make putts, and when you change that mind-set, your brain short-circuits, especially under pressure.

You can't make good scores happen. You've got to let it happen.

I couldn't say my own name when I was 12.

My father taught me that the easiest thing to do was to quit. He'd say, 'It doesn't take any talent to do that.'

My father was a man of few words.

People thought I was cocky because I didn't talk much. When I first turned pro, reporters asked me who was going to win. I'd say, 'I am' because it was the easier than giving some long, drawn-out answer.

My father always said excuses are the crutches for the untalented.
