dad successful thinking
I think if you look at most successful people, if you ask most of them, their biggest influence was their dad.
winning thinking play
I think its easy to enjoy anywhere that you play where you feel like you got a chance to win a lot.
sunday way lasts
I was way more nervous on the opening day of the Ryder Cup than the first round of any major. Every Ryder Cup match is like being in the last group on Sunday in a major.
dad kids stuff
Like most kids, my dad played. He would drag us out to the course and make us shag balls for him and caddy and all that kind of stuff.
nice two car
I've got one Aussie flag on my car. It would be nice to have two.
golf thinking whole-life
I think if you are going to base your whole life on what you do on the golf course, you are up for a lot of ups and downs.
attitude best great learn less results time trying
I think the attitude I was trying to learn myself was to really try hard, to give a great effort, to really care, and to let the results go where they are going to go. But at the same time, I don't have to be happy, and I shouldn't be happy, with less than my best.
playing
I just can't stomach playing poorly. More than anything, I hate not getting the most out of my game.
I play with a lot of guys who say they're a five handicap, and they shoot 110. And then you play with guys who say they are a 20 and they shoot 75.
anywhere chance enjoy
I think it's easy to enjoy anywhere that you play where you feel like you got a chance to win a lot.
I think that more than the winning, the weeks where I don't play well are what drive me the most.
british mini open rewarding satisfying winning
The most satisfying accomplishment for me was winning the British Open in 1996. But the most rewarding times were the times on the mini tours.
putt
When I putt well, I do very well. When I putt poorly, I struggle to be in the game.
call captain changed coach golf good life phone played tournament university
I had played in a tournament with the captain of the University of Minnesota's golf team, and he thought I was good. He called his coach, and the coach called me and recruited me. A five-minute phone call changed my life.
