When I'm playing well, I don't even take aim.

I think people like players they can relate to. It seems as if people think they know me. I just think I'm an ordinary Joe who plays golf very, very well.

I don't answer the phone. I get the feeling whenever I do that there will be someone on the other end.

There is no truth in the idea that the person who hits the most balls will become the best golfer. Golf is a bizarre sport. You can work for years on your game, without making any improvement in your score.

I caddied for a guy who was a very good player, and he gave me a set of clubs, just a starter set: 5-iron, 7-iron, 9-iron, putter and driver. I just loved it. How I developed my swing was to just grab a club and start banging balls.

Always count your blessings. Be thankful you are able to be out on a beautiful course. Most people in the world don't have that opportunity.

Golf is supposed to be fun, but I don't think anything is fun if you're not doing it reasonably well.

Really in all my years on Tour, in the U.S. Open I probably played great golf in two of them, out of maybe 20, so it's a lot of work.

You know, I’m not a PGA of America guy.

I could go away five or six weeks in a row and never touch a club. I would just look at them and say, 'I just don't want to it's not that important.' And it wasn't that important. Golf - I don't want to answer loosely - I pay a lot of attention to it, but I don't ever really think about it.

When you're prepared, you're more confident. When you have a strategy, you're more comfortable.

As far as swing and techniques are concerned, I don't know diddly squat. When I'm playing well, I don't even take aim.

Everybody teaches a system. I just try to shoot where I'm aiming. I play by sight and feel not by technical thoughts.

I expect myself to do well. I'm not, like, 'Oh, well.' I'm not in that category just yet. I don't play great golf a lot anymore. I do it every now and then. I finished third in the British Open last year, so I know I can still do it.

The press still considers me one of the most laid-back athletes since Babe Ruth. That's supposed to be a criticism, but I consider it a compliment because I think being carefree on the course is one of the secrets to scoring well consistently
