Good golfing temperament falls between taking it with a grin or shrug and throwing a fit.

Grip the club as if you were holding a baby bird.

But, no, I don't feel my career has not been fulfilled because I didn't win the US Open. It's like the guy said: You going to crucify a man because he missed a putt to win a tournament? Does a three-foot putt mean his whole life? Another guy said, well, he couldn't win the big one. Well, Jesus, what do you call those others? What's big and what's small?

Over the years I've studied the habits of golfers. I know what to look for. Watch their eyes. Fear shows up when there is an enlargement of the pupils. Big pupils lead to big scores.

I hope I'll never get too old to want to take part in this event, and I don't think I will ever age that much.

Of the mental hazards, being scared is the worst. When you get scared, you get tense.

Thinking instead of acting is the number one golf disease.
