Golf is so difficult to master. It feels like the better you get, the farther you are away from perfection.

Golf is so difficult to master. It feels like the better you get, the farther you are away from perfection.

A beginner gets so excited when he hits the ball in the air or maybe hits a nice bunker shot. A player who has won major championships doesn't get that excited about those shots anymore. It takes a lot more to excite you. The closer you get to perfection, the more difficult it becomes. That's what draws me to golf. It's such a challenge.

The vast majority of golfers don't go on to play golf as a profession, but they do go onto other professions where there will heat on them from time to time. Some people choke under pressure. If you have that as part of your character - that you don't perform well under pressure - it's really important for you to know that. The game teaches you about that.

You play the golf course just like you played it in your practice rounds and you stick to your game plan and just try to get whatever you can out of it.

I just think the game of golf teaches you so much about yourself like who you really are and what you're made of.

I had to figure out myself to figure out my game.
