I do not think I could go on living unless I felt that one day I might win the Open Championship at St. Andrews.

I'm about five inches from being an outstanding golfer. That's the distance my left ear is from my right.

A good golf course makes you want to play so badly that you hardly have the time to change your shoes.

I'm going to leave y'all with one thought. I'm a big believer in fate. I have a good feeling about this.

If we are to preserve the integrity of golf as left to us by our forefathers, it is up to all of us to carry on the true spirit of the game.

The reason the Road Hole at St. Andrews is the most difficult par 4 in the world is that it was designed as a par 6.

I don't have any big secret about putting. Just hit at it. It's either going to miss or go in.

Golf is the hardest game in the world. There is no way you can ever get it. Just when you think you do, the game jumps up and puts you in your place.

My golf game's gone off so much that when I went fishing a couple of weeks ago my first cast missed the lake.

I thought of Marius. Wild, wonderful, Byronic-fantasy Marius, who had somehow found something he wanted in the everyday quietness of me. Until he hadn't.

The more you are grateful for what you have, the more you can live fully in the present.

If you want to say it with flowers, remember that a single rose screams in your face: 'I'm cheap!'

I'm going to love you so good and so long you're gonna be convinced no earthly thing could have brought us together

If we do not abide in prayer, we will abide in temptation.

We take pleasure in truth and it amazes the eye of the viewer to see in stone, in canvas, or in wood an inanimate thing that seems to move.

You don't realize how easy this game is until you get up in that broadcasting booth.

All it takes is one drink to mess with the way you drive - it clouds your judgment and slows your reflexes. Don't take any chances. It just isn't worth it.
