I'm not always smiling when I'm on the golf course. Sometimes, hey, listen, people have regular jobs. You go to them when they're working, and you catch them not in the best moment either. So I understand how people could perceive me. But come get to know me, and I'm totally a different person.
I did envisage being this successful as a player, but not all the hysteria around it off the golf course.

It's cool now to play golf.
Every day I play golf, that's my goal. To break 70 the other way. To shoot 70 or better.
Elmcrest CC, in Cedar Rapids, is where it all started when I was growing up. The tree-lined course has a very demanding layout that requires you to be accurate off the tee and avoid a number of well-placed water hazards on some of the holes.
I don't golf. I've never golfed. I will never golf.
St. Andrews is my favorite place to play golf. I've said it many times. I love the design. I love how there is always a bunker in play. And every time you play, it is always a little bit different. There are so many angles out there. It is beautifully designed. And so much fun to play.
Golf is a better game played downhill.
I started with golf because I saw my brothers play, I was always watching them. It was my life. Growing up, we always played competitions like chipping, hitting.

I'm quite good at golf. I'm not amazing, but I play a lot.
You know I need that cockiness, the self-belief, arrogance, swagger, whatever you want to call it, I need that on the golf course to bring the best out of myself. So you know once I leave the golf course, you know that all gets left there.
Golf is all about patience - one tournament is four days long, 18 holes a day.
Golf is a very, very frustrating game.
Golf is a lot of walking, broken up by disappointment and bad arithmetic.
I played other sports, so when I played golf, I wanted to have fun. And hitting it far is fun.
You know, the Oscar I was awarded for The Untouchables is a wonderful thing, but I can honestly say that I'd rather have won the U.S. Open Golf Tournament.
It was a morning when all nature shouted Fore! The breeze, as it blew gently up from the valley, seemed to bring a message of hope and cheer, whispering of chip shots holed and brassies landing squarely on the meat. The fairway, as yet unscarred by the irons of a hundred dubs, smiled greenly up at the azure sky.
Golf is a game where guts and blind devotion will always net you absolutely nothing but an ulcer.
The golf links lie so near the mill That almost every day The laboring children can look out And see the men at play.
I don't watch much golf.
