Nobody asked how you looked, just what you shot.

What did I want with prestige? The British Open paid the winner $600 in American money. A man would have to be two hundred years old at that rate to retire from golf.

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

I shot a wild elephant in Africa thirty yards from me, and it didn't hit the ground until it was right at my feet. I wasn't a bit scared. But a four foot putt scares me to death.

Correct one fault at a time. Concentrate on the one fault you want to overcome.

But you don't have to go up in the stands and play your foul balls. I do.

What abandoned course is that?
