Forget your opponents; always play against par.

To win you must have talent and desire ­ but desire is first.

The fact that Slammin' Sammy couldn't win the Open made it all the more valuable for the players that did win. Gave it a special quality. I'd say a part of the sheen on that trophy comes from my sweat.

Practice puts brains in your muscles.

I've gotten rid of the yips four times but they hang in there. You know those two-foot downhill putts with a break? I'd rather see a rattlesnake.

In golf, as in life, you get out of it what you put into it.

You've just one problem. You stand too close to the ball after you've hit it.
