“I like hitting those high, spinny fades. I just want to control it, keep it in the fairway, I really think that's the most important thing.”

“The problem is if you have a golf swing where the harder you hit it, the more it spins, so your numbers get all out of whack, if you start adding length on top of that, now a longer driver is going to make it spin even more and become inefficient. So your swing has to be in a certain way where it makes sense to add that extra length.”

“I like listening to podcasts. I'm not the guy that would really listen to myself talk.”

“The kind of frustrating part is when you're trying to figure things out and you don't necessarily see the progress or you don't know exactly if this is the right road ahead, and that's when you have to think more about the process instead of just kind of shutting that off and just committing to it.”

“Obviously, learning from mistakes is key. But sometimes you get enough scar tissue in there, that's not great, either.”

“I'm just trying to do the best I can and see how it goes.”

“I'm not a guy that just wants to blindly follow people and be told what to do. I want to understand everything.”

“I kind of have high arms in the backswing.”

“I think the cool thing about Augusta is there are so many unique traditions within the tournament. Obviously the tournament itself is historical, but little things like the pimento cheese sandwiches and how cheap they are, and the food is just great.”

“The golf ball doesn't care about know how hard you're working, or how many hours you slept that night. It only matters, what speed you put on the ball, where the face is pointing, and where it was hit on the face.”

“I feel like I've won a decent amount of tournaments for only being a pro for four years; however, they have been at low key places, resort courses, and abroad, so it feels really cool to get my first win on the U.S. soil.”

“It's like, what is the deal with all the aliens? There seem to be some pilots and commanders that explain what they saw and have video footage of it, so it's like, 'Huh, what is that?' I find the reluctance to talk about that stuff fascinating.”

“That's kind of how I thought about it. Go there and get better. If I do well in college, that means I'm getting ready for the PGA Tour.”

“I don't have a lot of lateral movement. A lot of the great players have lateral movement - which is not necessarily a bad thing - but, too much, and if you don't get the proper tilt, you're going to hit down on the ball.”

“If I play bad, that almost motivates me more than when I'm playing good because when you're playing good, it's like, OK, I know what I'm doing, I can kind of take tomorrow off or I know that I'm playing good, so I'll just chill for a little bit or whatever.”

“At the end of the day, we're golfers, we're not ball strikers.”

“If I had gone to LIV, I don't think I would have become a better golfer.”

“I don't need a lot to live within my means.”

“I would say as soon as I play bad or I make a couple of mistakes, that almost motivates me more to come back and get better.”
