sports team thinking
I went over before the British Open and played Valderrama thinking that I might make the team, might be a captain's pick. I made the effort to go over there.
sports thinking rope
I very rarely saw Tom Kite around. I've talked to Tom about it. I don't think Michael Jordan needed to be on the captain's cart with Kite; he needed to be walking in the gallery, supporting them from outside the ropes.
sports thinking play
For one thing, when you're playing as well as I was at the time, you think you can play with anything. That isn't true, of course, but I didn't know it then.
winning guy down-and
These guys who keep on playing but aren't winning, you've got to sit them down and let them figure it out and perform a little gut-check on themselves.
emotional hands captains
For sure I would be a very emotional captain. A very hands-on captain.
book awful magazines
I don't read magazines much, and I have an awful time with books.
golf games gamer
This thing is for the game of golf, yeah, but trust me, the Europeans don't have that mentality.
long-distance-relationship fall two
The two-piece ball I switched to spun too much. One shot would go the distance I thought it should, then the next one would fall short, and then the next one would go long.
proud pay alternatives
That's why I'm very proud of being American. I'm proud to pay taxes. I pay a lot of taxes, but it sure beats the alternative.
family-love grew our-family
We grew up with so much love in our family.
golf thinking healthy
I don't think it's healthy to take yourself too seriously.
sports news world
We live in such a sheltered environment in the United States. I've been fortunate enough to have traveled all over the world, and I've seen things you only read about and see on the news.
player world example
For example, I wouldn't hesitate to sit somebody down if he wasn't performing, even if he was the No. 1 player in the world. I've been sat down before.

We weren't any good, we didn't have to be good. It was a pro-am. We got up here with Glenn Fry and Steven Stills ... and we sucked.
