children miss rack
When I'm on the road traveling, the things I miss most are my two children and barbecuing with friends. Rack of ribs, lamb and veal are my specialties.

I played very well today - I made every putt, ... My ambition is to finish the year in the top 10. To do that, I will have to win another tournament this year, maybe here.
dignified feed money work
I didn't become a caddie because I wanted to be a caddie. I was a caddie because that was how I could make money and feed myself. It was work. It was a dignified job.
miss
Golf gives and takes. So yeah, sometimes you make those putts, sometimes you just miss them. But that's golf.
coins either grab
I grab coins and tees in my travels, but I usually mark my ball with a coin from Argentina, either a peso or a 10-centavo piece.
handful open seen watch
I've only seen a handful of short clips of my U.S. Open win. I remember how I did it; I don't need to watch a video.

You should welcome getting older in golf. With greater knowledge of your swing, you, too, can keep improving.
advice anywhere game good matter matters mean people suggest
In golf, advice is not a big thing. If you don't have the ability, you won't get anywhere no matter how much advice you get. The only thing people can suggest that matters is, be a good person and treat people respectfully. But advice on your game doesn't mean much to me.
