To be able to know that I can push myself a little further than you think you can was so important. And that it's a mental barrier more than anything. You can break through it.
-
I have always practiced by myself. It's just because that is when I can do the most work, the most efficient work, is when I am by myself, and I think I just find a little bit of peace when it comes to being able to be out here on the golf course, and you are just you and yourself and your thoughts.

It just flat-out sucks losing. It really - it doesn't feel good.
-
What I'm doing with my body and with my golf game, I'm trying to extend the longevity of my career.
-
I honestly thought I was going to win a major championship quicker than what I did, but it clearly took a little bit longer than expected.
-
All I did was go to school and play golf. I didn't have much of a social life.
-
Rest is huge because if you're sleep-deprived, that can definitely run into the mental side of the game and can definitely hurt your game if you're playing tournament golf.
-
I absolutely love my son and family - they are my life and always come first.
-
I tend to watch the score board a lot.
-
You've got to come out and fire on all cylinders and get yourself up the leaderboard and show people that you're there and you're ready to win.
-
If you don't believe in yourself, somewhere or another, you sabotage yourself.
-
Just looking when I was little at pictures of cars and houses that I wanted - it gives you a certain motivation, it gives you a goal.
-
I've got to really try and manage my patience out there.
-
I had a very boring life, which is fine. I like being boring.
-
When I've been playing my best golf, I feel like everything's so slow.
-
There is no real way to prepare yourself for having a child other than just getting thrown in the deep end pretty quick.
-
I've never been more motivated to be No. 1 in the world. I've never been more motivated to try to extend that lead from one to two. All the hard work that I've put into my game right now has paid off, but I've got to keep working hard to win as much as I can.
-
I've been one of those people that hold on to a little bit more stress than others. People take certain situations a little bit differently.
-
The vertigo is a difficult thing: it just comes and goes whenever it pleases. I wasn't expecting it. I've had it before, and there have been years between stretches, and unfortunately it happened at the U.S. Open, and that knocked me off my feet.
-
It's very stressful being the No. 1 player in the world. You're in the limelight a lot. You've got more things to do when you get to tournaments, more things to do off weeks. But I wouldn't change it in any way because this is exactly where I want to be. I want to try and stay here as long as I can while I can because nothing beats this feeling.

'Golf Digest' had all the old school swings, and my favorite swing, ever, was Nick Faldo's swing. And it had all the greats, Ernie Els and Nick Faldo and all that stuff, and I had the pictures of their swing sequences on my wall.

I did play other sports growing up. I played cricket and all those other things, but I was just so much more talented in golf, and that's all I wanted to do.

If my dad was alive, I wouldn't have gone to boarding school, and I wouldn't have had the success I've had.

It really is amazing that some days you'll come out and you'll feel like you can beat anyone, and then some days you come out and you've got no confidence in the world, and you can't break an egg with a hammer.
