Guys get voted into the Hall of Fame who don't belong, who lack the numbers. I'm very upset at the Hall of Fame for that. It's not fair to the people who went in early.

The game was easy for me as a kid. I had to play a while to find out how hard it is.

I was from North Carolina, so as a youngster all of my mind games about golf were always, If I make this I win The Masters, if I hole this par putt I win The Masters. So it was a great thrill to play there.

If I play my best, I can win anywhere in the world against anybody.

If I owned a Rembrandt and it had some dull colors, I don't think I'd go put reds and yellows in there just to brighten it up. I feel the same way about old golf courses. When you have a masterpiece, I sure wouldn't tinker with it.

I had a prejudice against the British until I discovered that fifty percent of them were female.

I honestly believe that with a strong mind, you can literally 'will' the ball into the hole.
