if you gone come in second, you're just the first loser!

No matter how good you get you can always get better, and that's the exciting part.

All that really matters is I have two beautiful kids, and I'm trying to be the best dad I can possibly be, and that's the most important thing of all.

There's no sense in going to a tournament if you don't believe that you can win it. And that is the belief I have always had. And that is not going to change.

Hopefully I'll continue to have the success I've had.

Money and fame made me believe I was entitled. I was wrong and foolish.

My mom was tough.

I will have to earn trust and respect from my kids.

Well, you know, a lot of people look at the negative things, the things that they did wrong and - which I do. But I like to stress on the things I did right, because there are certain things that I like to look at from a positive standpoint that are just positive reinforcement.

The amount of meetings I've been in - people would be shocked. But that's how you gain experience, how you can gain knowledge, being in meetings and participating. You learn and grow.

There are golfers everywhere who may never get a chance to play a links course in Scotland, a tree-lined course in America or the sand belts of Australia. Hopefully I can bring some of those elements into their backyards.

If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a person's life in a positive light, and that's what I want to do. That's what it's all about.

I'd like to share my experiences and the lessons I've learned and hopefully create some amazing, fun courses.

My dad used to say, 'Just because you dress up in a coat and tie, it doesn't influence your intelligence.'

People don't understand that when I grew up, I was never the most talented. I was never the biggest. I was never the fastest. I certainly was never the strongest. The only thing I had was my work ethic, and that's been what has gotten me this far.

Don't force your kids into sports. I never was. To this day, my dad has never asked me to go play golf. I ask him. It's the child's desire to play that matters, not the parent's desire to have the child play. Fun. Keep it fun.

It's cool now to play golf.

My dad was my best friend and greatest role model. He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend.
