player media trying
I try to respect everybody out here: players, caddies, fans, media.
winning games numbers
The only way to win tournaments is with the short game. Over half your shots out here are within 30 or 40 yards. Ballstriking is where I'm trying to improve, yes, but more to eliminate big numbers than make birdies.
self-esteem play careers
My family has reduced the effect of my career on my self-esteem. When I'm with them, they make me feel special regardless of how I play.
daughter mother kids
My kids and I sometimes will just sit in my office and talk about what the world was like 68 million years ago. Amanda, our oldest daughter, wanted to be a paleontologist for a long time.
winning play guy
Its just as disappointing as it was thrilling to win the Masters. To come very close, to play so hard for 72 holes and play better than everybody but one guy is disappointing.
morning book fall
I have come to understand and appreciate writers much more recently since I started working on a book last fall. Before that, I thought golf writers got up every morning, played a round of golf, had lunch, showed up for our last three holes and then went to dinner.
blow thinking eight
Where you can make up ground is if the wind blows and your opponents make big numbers. I think you can shoot three, four, five-under par. But to make up a six, seven or eight-shot lead, that will be tough without the leaders coming back.
thinking winning play
I don't think my style of play is what has prevented me from winning major championships. I think that execution has been more of a factor.
careers perspective feelings
I have not found my perspective on my career change. What I have found is that my life in general has been more fulfilling. To be able to influence an individual's life and on who they become as a person is a very rewarding feeling.
years want next-year
Well, you know, I don't really want to trade next year. I certainly enjoyed having the jacket put on me rather than putting it on.
golf play design
It should almost be a prerequisite to play Castle Stuart before you're allowed to design golf courses nowadays.
fake-people nice use
It'll be nice not to have to use my fake IDs anymore.
