Nobody asked how you looked, just what you shot.

These greens are so fast I have to hold my putter over the ball and hit it with the shadow.

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

The mark of a great player is in his ability to come back. The great champions have all come back from defeat.

If I could have shot 69 in the last round every time, I would have won nine U.S. Opens. Nine!

I'd say that golf is about 75% mental. If your state of mind gets out of kilter, you're worse off than a tomcat floating on a log.

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