I just never subscribed to the theory that at age 55, you fall off the face of the earth on the Tour. I always felt that was too young of an age for that.

I don’t sleep well. I rehash everything in bed. The mind’s still working.

The USGA doesn’t want to recognize the fact that today’s players are better than ever. They seem willing to do anything to prevent us from shooting scores that would make us appear better than the great names of the past.

It’s a long, hard, difficult process to make it to a national championship.

On the PGA Tour, guys finish in the top 10, make a ton of money and think they’re great players. In my era, you had to win. We didn’t settle for anything else.

People have to learn who they are – you can’t have somebody else telling you who you are.

I can forgive the body breaking down. It’s a little tougher to forgive that mental lapse.

If you’re not just a little bit nervous before a match, you probably don’t have the expectations of yourself that you should have.

I still have the desire to succeed, and I’ve always felt success is measured by what you’ve done in the win column, not top 10s.

Competitiveness is a personality thing and competitive people don’t become pushovers the day they turn fifty.
