I did envisage being this successful as a player, but not all the hysteria around it off the golf course.

The key in shooting any good round is to give yourself some chances and, tomorrow, if my swinging is feeling any good, I'll have some chances. But, if it's not, then I'll have to give myself those 15- to 20-footers and hope I can make those.

The thing you don't dream about as a kid is all the peripheral stuff that comes with success.

I love to play golf, and that's my arena. And you can characterize it and describe it however you want, but I have a love and a passion for getting that ball in the hole and beating those guys.

America's a melting pot, all races, cultures, religious choices.

We all make decisions. But in the end, our decisions make us.

I do not look back at what might have been. If I did that, playing golf would drive me crazy.
