thinking winning play
I don't think my style of play is what has prevented me from winning major championships. I think that execution has been more of a factor.
careers perspective feelings
I have not found my perspective on my career change. What I have found is that my life in general has been more fulfilling. To be able to influence an individual's life and on who they become as a person is a very rewarding feeling.
fake-people nice use
It'll be nice not to have to use my fake IDs anymore.
fun hate play
I hate to play a tournament in which I'm not contending. It's just not any fun for me.
orange firsts fans
I remember when I first came out on tour, it was Greg Norman and Nick Price. We forget how big Norman was, what a presence he was. I remember one of my first tournaments, Greg threw an orange peel down on the ground and some fan ran over and grabbed it. 'This is Greg Norman's orange peel!'
winning giving trying
What I like to do is to try to win as many tournaments and as many majors as I can, and with him [Tiger Woods] in the field, it just gives it more credibility, whatever it is I am able to accomplish.
golf winning games
The winner of this tournament doesn't just win a major. He become a part of the history of the game.
blow thinking eight
Where you can make up ground is if the wind blows and your opponents make big numbers. I think you can shoot three, four, five-under par. But to make up a six, seven or eight-shot lead, that will be tough without the leaders coming back.
golf play design
It should almost be a prerequisite to play Castle Stuart before you're allowed to design golf courses nowadays.
winning play trying
I would rather try a shot to win than play safe and finish second.
decision unemployment looks
If you add up all the federal and you look at the disability and the unemployment and the Social Security and the state, my tax rate's 62, 63 percent. So I've got to make some decisions on what I'm going to do.
daughter mother kids
My kids and I sometimes will just sit in my office and talk about what the world was like 68 million years ago. Amanda, our oldest daughter, wanted to be a paleontologist for a long time.
golf winning opportunity
I think it's more than whether or not you win or lose. It's having that opportunity on that final round, final nine, to come down the stretch with a chance to win.
golf games play
My style of play won't ever change, because I enjoy that aggressive style of golf. It allows me to play my best. When I attack pins, I stay more focused. I get more into the shot and, consequently, I get more out of the shot and out of my game by playing aggressive.
