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.

We tournament golfers are much overrated. We get paid to much.

Golf will grow so long as it’s fun.

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.
