Golf is so difficult to master. It feels like the better you get, the farther you are away from perfection.

My kids have grown up knowing nothing other than me being gone all the time and playing in golf tournaments. That's what they know.

You play the golf course just like you played it in your practice rounds and you stick to your game plan and just try to get whatever you can out of it.

If St. Andrews is the home of golf, I think Pebble Beach feels like the home of American golf, like the home of championship golf. It has a real sense of history here.

I had to figure out myself to figure out my game.

That the win came only days after the Ryder Cup announcement was not a coincidence. Being a captain's pick is a huge honor, and I was very flattered by that, ... but once the Ryder Cup race was over at the PGA, I felt as if there was a burden lifted and I was able to focus on what was at hand this week.

I just think the game of golf teaches you so much about yourself like who you really are and what you're made of.
