almost glad hard kids shot wife
It was hard to believe. I'm just glad my wife and kids weren't with me. If it wasn't so serious, it would almost be amusing. I mean, how many times when you're driving, do you get shot at?
ends happen happy random sitting tried
It was just a very random thing. Random things happen in this world. I'm most happy he tried that before I got my kids. Otherwise, my 3-year-old would have been sitting in that seat. Anyway, all's well that ends well.
aussie flag nice side
I've got one Aussie flag on the side of my car. It would be nice to have two.
proud
It's very satisfying. I'm proud that I've done it, but I'm embarrassed I didn't do it 15 years ago.
chipping course golf good hours hurt knees range start takes three time walk work
It takes time to start where I started and try to work off all the flab. You have to give something up, and to me it was always the kind of thing that, 'Well, I can't do it because I've got to work on my game. I've got to work on my chipping, work on my driving. I've got to do something with my game.' I said, 'You know what, it's not going to do me any good at all if I can't walk the golf course because my knees hurt so bad.' I'll give up three hours a day of chipping or three hours on the range to make it so my knees don't hurt.
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.
nice two car
I've got one Aussie flag on my car. It would be nice to have two.
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.
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.
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.
thinking courses
I think you only hold U.S. Opens on great courses.
dad successful thinking
I think if you look at most successful people, if you ask most of them, their biggest influence was their dad.
attitude thinking championship
I think that major championships are as much about attitude as they are anything else.
mean hard-work life-and-death
To have faith doesn't mean you get any less frustrated when you don't do your best, but you know that it's not life and death. Take what you're given, and when you continue to work hard, you will see results. That will give you the confidence you need to keep going.
