I don't want to brag, but I do more homework on the course than any other announcer. I chart the greens to get all the breaks. I walk down into the greenside bunkers. I walk into the fairway bunkers to see whether a player can reach the green from them.

I never really wanted to be No. 1 and a big shot, have people playing up to me all the time. I wasn't comfortable with any of it.

When people pick the best drivers of all time, nobody ever picks Lee Trevino. But when he played, like at Tanglewood at the '74 PGA, he missed one fairway in 72 holes.

I was tough on myself when I didn't finish off a tournament right.

I remember, when I won at Tucson by nine shots in 1975, I would say the average iron shot I hit that week was no more than two feet off line. It was unbelievable.

I try to really say what I think is happening, and I'm pretty forthright. I obviously hold back some things. But pretty much, what I see and feel, I say on the air.

Golf is the greatest sport of all to see if you can handle pressure.

Tiger's swing when he won the Masters by 12 shots - I loved that swing.

I usually listen to my gut, so to speak, and my wife.

I was always groomed by my dad to win the U.S. Open.

All my friends were retiring, and it got to the point where I was like, 'Hey, how come I'm not retiring?'

I grew up in an era where the perfect drive was a line drive, with quite a bit more spin.

Everybody has some part of their game that is easily influenced to choke.

I've always felt how players handle the pressure was the most interesting part of golf.

I've had two lives. The golfing part... the younger generation sort of heard about me but maybe didn't realize I wasn't too bad at times. Then the announcing part.

I was always known as the 'Desert Fox.'

The mental aspect of golf is what makes golf such a great sport.

Most announcers play pattycake, pattycake with the players they're covering.

Look, I'm not trying to be critical when I'm on the air.

Serenity is knowing that your worst shot is still pretty good.
