If I'm hitting 3-wood and everyone else is hitting driver, it's a level playing field. If I'm hitting driver straight, then I think I'm playing at a different level than everybody else.
I come from a rural state. People drive 50, 100 miles to and from work every single day. That is true all over America.
All I was doing was trying to get home from work.
Bets lengthen putts and shorten drives.
I've taken up golf in the past five or six years, and most of the time there aren't too many people out there that can drive a ball further than I can.
In West Yorkshire, I'd have to drive three quarters of an hour to go shopping.
Your longest drives will come when you feel you're swinging at 75 percent.
You don't have to be long off the tee, and we know the amazing effect an Open crowd can have if you're on your game and how they can lift you.
I'd say 230 yards off the tee is my average. Short game is a strength. I don't three-putt often. Actually, I'd say my mental game is probably the best. I'm very good at staying positive and focused on my game.
On short courses I can still play good, even with my added length.
You have to be sharp with all aspects of your game at Augusta. You need to put yourself in the best spot off the tee and hit the longest drive you can, but I think this is really a second-shot course. If you leave yourself with an awkward putt on the greens, it can be very tricky here.
My golf score is really bad. I don't know. I'm definitely not a good golfer. Off the tee box, I can drive it about 275, and I'm in the fairway about 99% of the time. It's my next shot that needs work.
There are no short hitters on the tour anymore - just long and unbelievably long.
The longest road trip I've ever been on is from Minnesota to Los Angeles.
There is more to the game than hitting it far. There are ways to make birdies other than hitting 350-yard drives. I pride myself on a good short game; I work very hard at it.
When I got on tour in 2014, I was hitting a slice off the tee. No joke. Yeah, I had plenty of power, and I knew how to play the curve, but I was a tour player who was watching his tee shots peel 30, 40 yards to the right.
A lot of people wonder how a 21-year-old with average power (I finished 89th in driving distance) can be so successful. The answer is simple: I know how to score.
Any time you play in a USGA Championship, if you don't drive the ball on the fairway, you're dead. You're done.
I play golf with my shirttail out. I own a golf course because it's very, very close to my house, and I don't want to drive 45 minutes to the north side of Oklahoma City to play golf every day. I have race horses 'cause I love horses and it's my hobby.
There are guys you've never heard of who drive the ball better than anybody I've seen on the PGA Tour.
Driving alone, you can make 800 miles a day.
Being in the fairway, I think the fairways are a little bit more overrated.
Stats are important to me, especially the ones related to scoring. You're going to miss fairways and greens out here, so how you play from the sand really matters.
I want to be able to drive the ball to all fields.
The great thing about Florida is you - each city's about two hours' drive from everywhere else.
