“In Little League back in Oklahoma, I struck out 14 batters in a six-inning game, and we won the state championship.”

“I thank Burns & Wilcox for its support and look forward to representing the company's values and commitment to excellence on the links.”

“I have a lot of stories to tell because I've been down a lot of roads people haven't been.”

“Swinging a gold club is sort of a throwing action, and even as a kid, I could throw things far and fast.”

“Winning a major, that's what everybody wants to do, and I worked my whole life to do it. And to realize that, it's incredible.”

“The thing I like about astronomy is being outside at night and seeing the stars in a dark sky. It makes you feel small.”

“To have a tournament right where you live is very cool.”

“I think that confidence is a big thing. It's being comfortable, feeling comfortable, managing your schedule.”

“I felt very calm and controlled. That's what you've got to feel and do when it's time to win. It's easy to say, hard to do.”

“I just go out and play golf.”

“How does one gain confidence? It's just the repetitive nature of telling you how good you are. How good of a putter and chipper you are. How you've got this. You can beat the best players in the world. You've got all the talent. You just have to believe in yourself.”

“The par putts sometimes are bigger than the birdie putts.”
