Paul Casey

“I'm an athlete. I'm a golfer.”

“Family to me is the most important thing.”

“When you are playing good golf, you have no idea how anybody can play bad golf. When you are playing bad golf, you have no idea how you ever did what you did in playing good golf. That scrambles your brains.”

“I'm one of those players who can react to things, be creative and hit good golf shots.”

“Winning on Tour is like solving a jigsaw puzzle, except that the puzzle picture is all blue sky - no clouds.”

“I've had injuries and I got divorced. I certainly went through a dip in form and I lost a lot of confidence on the golf course.”

“Struggles is when I stood on the course and had zero confidence, I was embarrassed, I didn't want to be there. I totally lost my game.”

“Word of mouth on tour knows what good product is. And I'll be honest, there's probably only three manufacturers whose drivers I would even contemplate using.”

“I'm very content with my life.”

“In the past, I've been pretty good at closing out tournaments.”

“Majors are difficult to win whether Tiger's there or not, and it's not like there will be an asterisk by the winner's name in the history books. But I want to win a major when Tiger's there.”

“An Englishman to follow in Nick Faldo's footsteps would be huge. Everybody would love to be the first guy to do that.”

“I can't move the way I used to.”

“It's one thing for me to weigh up the elements and the lie of the land when I am about to hit a five-iron, quite another for me to make a well-balanced assessment of every question that comes my way in an interview situation.”

“The thing is, because I am such a big hitter, if I'm a fraction out it actually makes it look worse than it is.”

“I'm not going to save the world or anything, but I think it's time I did my bit.”

“I live in America, and I play many events in the U.S.”

“I should have contended in more. But there have been things that have got in the way of a nice smooth career.”

“One of my most enjoyable rounds of golf was with Mark Foster in Switzerland. It took 2hrs 30min, I shot a 64 and I won a watch but, even better, I got a kiss off Cindy Crawford.”

“Being based in Scottsdale, Arizona, means I've had the chance to play against guys like Gary McCord, Tim Herron and Geoff Ogilvy, and it's sharpened up my game.”
