“I'm a good putter. Like good shooters, just keep shooting. I'm just going to keep putting, and they're going to start going in.”
“Sometimes it's hard. I'm not going to lie. It's tough. You feel like you're killing yourself, and you're giving it all you've got, and you're just not seeing it.”
“I'm not really that nerdy.”
“I travel all over the country, all over the world, and I'm happy to call Texas home.”

“There are guys you've never heard of who drive the ball better than anybody I've seen on the PGA Tour.”
“Sometimes hard work doesn't pay off.”

“The confidence came along as I played well.”
“Today, at 35, I can throw a small football close to 80 yards - and straighter than I can hit a golf ball.”
