Every step of the way I think you learn something that makes you a better player, and all those lessons really come out when it matters the most in a championship.

The funny part is I feel like somebody is stalking me, like, at my local course and sizing up my game.

I think I may have too much of a scientific mindset and am always looking for the caveats and qualifications in any situation. I never thought seriously of doing a PhD until relatively late in the day. I was always diligent at the book-work at university but the brightest amongst my friends all seemed to have a more intuitive grasp of the subject.

A lot more variables in golf. But the biggest thing is like just routine. Like I think that's the biggest correlation between golfers and basketball players, is for me I really rely on my routine every single day when I get ready for games and how I prepare.

Obviously, everybody wants to see Tiger [Woods] come back, but I think it's in a really good place with how much talent is out there and the exciting finishes you have, week in, week out.

The more years I go, the more experience I have, the more that nutrition and eating the right foods is important for recovery and things like that.

My wife would probably say I'm the messiest person in the history of husbands.
