I hate to play a tournament in which I'm not contending. It's just not any fun for me.
Phil MickelsonI remember when I first came out on tour, it was Greg Norman and Nick Price. We forget how big Norman was, what a presence he was. I remember one of my first tournaments, Greg threw an orange peel down on the ground and some fan ran over and grabbed it. 'This is Greg Norman's orange peel!'
Phil MickelsonWhat I like to do is to try to win as many tournaments and as many majors as I can, and with him [Tiger Woods] in the field, it just gives it more credibility, whatever it is I am able to accomplish.
Phil MickelsonChanging would not give me the best chance to win. I need to have fun. I need to attack.
