“My dad is just like everybody else's dad. I see him as kind of a goofy guy with a great sense of humor. I try to get in a battle of wits with him, but he always gets me. I emulate him because I've never seen anyone work as hard as he does.”

“That's match play. You've got to get lucky. You've got to try to catch somebody on a down day when you have a down day.”

“Playing with Phil Mickelson, it doesn't get any better than that.”

“I try to go out, check out the town, and have a good time. It's a life experience: not everyone gets the chance to see the world and play golf, do the thing you love while travelling.”

“I was born in Massachusetts. I live in Stillwater. I went to school in Florida.”

“Winning is fun and great, but I would rather have a long, successful and healthy career than a short one with a few wins.”

“As long as you can find a place to develop as an all-round player, then you're doing great.”

“You are going to hit some good shots and not get rewarded, but that's just U.S. Open golf. It's tough; it's hard.”

“I grew up in New Bedford, Massachusetts, and I'm a huge Red Sox fan. I've probably been to Fenway 40 times. I've been pretty lucky as a sports fan because the Patriots have won Super Bowls and the Red Sox have won World Series during my lifetime.”

“It's the Masters. If that doesn't get you nervous and your juices flowing, I don't know what does.”

“Golf is a humbling sport.”

“I felt like, by the end of the week in the U.S. Amateur, I was never aiming at a flag; I was just hitting it at slopes and just letting the natural contours take over.”

“The biggest thing was just getting comfortable out there in front of all the people and just the whole major setting and how difficult major championships are, how patient... you have to be.”

“I don't mind playing or watching a movie or sitting down.”

“Name me one golfer that doesn't get frustrated.”

“I had always wanted to see the world, and the PGA Tour was always going to be there.”

“It's an honor to win the Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year award.”

“Golf has always been a part of my life. My parents have footage of me in a walker swinging a plastic club. If I didn't play golf, I would have been a baseball player. I could sit and watch baseball all day.”

“I'm just going to go out and play. At the end of the day, you are still hitting a little white ball with your clubs.”

“St. Andrews is the Home of Golf and the greatest course in the world. Any time you can win at St. Andrews would be special. It's every golfer's dream to win out here.”
