I learned how to win by losing and not liking it.

Having played the Old Course many times since my first visit in 1981, I am now of the opinion it is one of the best and most beautiful tests of links golf anywhere in the world.

If a course needs to be in great condition to be played effectively, then the design strategy is flawed.

Ballybunion is the course on which many golf architects should live and play on before they build golf courses.

No other game combines the wonder of nature with the discipline of sport in such carefully planned ways. A great golf course both frees and challenges a golfer's mind.

The person I fear most in the last two rounds is myself.

Confidence in golf means being able to concentrate on the problem at hand with no outside interference.
