I've had a lot of majors where I didn't play well until the last round. Keep yourself in contention that's the name of the game. I usually ended up shooting a good round and all of a sudden, somehow, I won.

Whether it's pool or Ping Pong, I can't stand to have my kids beat me. Especially Ping Pong! And when they beat me, they just needle the devil out of me. That's fine. I'd rather have that than let them win a shallow victory.

When I want a long ball, I spin my hips faster.

I understand golf is a game, and I've never treated it as anything else. Family is something that's very special, and so they all contributed to the room. They all contributed to what my life was, my career was.

But if I played well and prepared myself properly, then all I had to do was control myself and put myself in a position to win.

Barbara [my wife] and I said a long time ago that if we were in a position to help somebody, it would be kids. So when we started the Memorial Tournament (in Columbus, OH), Nationwide Children's Hospital, which saved my daughter's life when she was less than a year old, was the beneficiary from day one.
