I went over before the British Open and played Valderrama thinking that I might make the team, might be a captain's pick. I made the effort to go over there.

I very rarely saw Tom Kite around. I've talked to Tom about it. I don't think Michael Jordan needed to be on the captain's cart with Kite; he needed to be walking in the gallery, supporting them from outside the ropes.

Invariably something happens at a U.S. Open where the golf course gets out of control one day, they have one pin that's out of control. It always seems to happen. But they've gotten better about the height of the rough.

Not that money is a driving force. It's an honor to play for your country.

If somebody asks for my opinion, I tell them my opinion, whether it's what they want to hear or not.

I think that we all have something in common in that we have dreams. The thing about dreams is sometimes you get to live them out.

I'm 42 now, what I would consider prime time.
