It's not like I invented the World Rankings. All I did was play golf.
I didn't really feel any different than when I played as an amateur,
I'm allergic to bees, ... They seem to like me a lot.
It's hard to describe the feeling. I feel like it's kind of a wedding.
Then a couple years later, I was in a tournament and a bee comes over on my hand and stings me out of nowhere,
I'll be sure not to wear white tomorrow.
Well, I've played in rain before. I've played in the wind before. I played when it was cold before. But all put together was really hectic,
The positive energy I received from the crowd was awesome. I felt like I basically knew half of the people in the gallery.
When I play, my mind-set is that I can beat everyone, ... (But) I don't really think I'm the best yet.
You have to focus or you won't play the way you want to. It was fun.
Ty Tryon made a lot of money after turning pro, but he might not have been ready. I don't want to make a lot of money for a couple of months and then not be ready.
If you grow up normal, you'll always be normal-I don't want to be normal. I want to be something else.
To play in the men's tournaments I have to keep getting stronger and get more distance
You know, my joints don't feel sore as much, I digest food a lot better, my hands feel less swollen so I feel really good,
