I think about what I say. I don't give stock answers. I'm not trying to cultivate an image with the public, like several of the top players do.

We're often portrayed as rich, spoiled athletes who play a game for too much money.

I slowly continued to compensate for the physical problems I was having and ended up completely destroying my swing, my set-up, my posture. Everything was gone.

I love competing.

I love hitting the ball, controlling the ball. And yeah, even the roar of the crowd. I enjoy the roar of the crowd probably less than some players and more than some. But I'm not out here to be a celebrity.

We might not make what athletes in other sports make, but we have greater longevity and we do have certain freedoms to do things they can't do. Like stay home one week and play the next week.

I'm content. I want to have better success in the tournaments than I've had, but I know I'm playing well, so I'm happy with that.

When I'm swinging well, nobody hits the golf ball any better than I do.

I went to Q-school knowing that I could play well and get through.

I know the other side. I know what awful golf is.

But more than that, I wanted my wife and my family to see how I can actually play this game. They haven't seen me at my best, and I want them to.

Confidence is such a fragile and precious thing.
