Golfer

One of the best forcers was probably Tiger in his prime. He could force an outcome if he needed it.

I went to San Diego State and one of our home courses was Barona Creek. It's this open, no-tree look.

I learned from a young age that my tendency was to really choke the grip during a big moment. I'd tense up in my hands, which would then tighten my forearms, and I'd try to rip one as hard as I could.

I've played TaylorMade drivers since I was in high school, so it's a comfortable look for me.

As a rookie you sort of don't really know if you're good enough, and then you start listening to a bunch of random things or just out looking for a bunch of random things that don't help.

I expect a lot from myself but, over time, I've learned to tame that.

All the techniques to help stay calm and focused, to control your mind, have all really helped me.

I pretty much figured out in grade school that we weren't the stereotypical American family.

I'm an old soul.

Somewhere down the line I'd like to create a foundation that brings awareness to environmental protection, sustainability, the effects of pollution, and all of those things related to protecting nature.

My agent and I usually have a steak-and-wine dinner on Wednesdays before tournaments. It's a good source of protein for the night before, and it helps me sleep before the opening round.

Coming out of college, you never really know how good you are, you've never played for money, you've put all your eggs in one basket and your whole life revolves around it. For a while, I didn't think I was going to be good enough.

I'm kind of a quiet guy.

I pick up the tab for my mom now, I don't let her pay for any dinners.

The only time I am an unhappy camper is when I feel like I'm treated unfairly.

My dad, his temperament is a little worse than mine, at times.

Being from California, my parents are very eco-friendly and I feel like I've been nurtured by a tree-hugger family in a way.

Usually when I'm comfortable I play good golf.

I just still feel like an underdog. I feel like until you're No. 1, you're chasing.

A conventional blade has more toe hang so that's for people who want to rotate the face more. I'm not that person. I don't have a strong arc to my stroke so the mallet works better for me.
