“I find it flattering to be compared to Tiger Woods. What he has done for the game is incredible.”

“A lot of people think I am cold and have no feelings. But I do. I just try very hard to focus and not let my emotions take over on the golf course.”

“I believe in positive thinking. Believing in yourself.”

“I stay patient. I don’t go out there and try to set a course record. That’s probably one of my strengths and one reason I’ve been able to win major championships.”

“When I first came on tour, I was playing for money. Now I’m playing to win golf tournaments and the money is more than I ever dreamed I could make.”

“I love to crunch numbers. I look at how many fairways I hit, how many greens I hit. I plan my way around the golf course.”

“I still get butterflies on the first tee. I still get sweaty hands, and my heart pumps a lot going down the 18th. But I know what winning is all about now, and that’s a feeling that I like.”

“To play well you have to have good balance in your life. Tiger has found that. If you play golf long enough you'll learn that life is more than golf.”

“I've learned a lot about my game every time I play golf in a men's event.”

“I push myself to be the best I can be. I don't worry about what other people are doing, and I don't think about things I can't control.”
