"I've fallen in love with the course, and the environment. I've never been a fan of TPC courses, so it's nice to play old-school courses like this one that are laid out right in front of you. It's not one of the hardest, but it's fair and you know you have to go low."

"Dad is doing better. He's my best friend. Any time you can spend as much time with your parents that you truly love, especially when he wasn't feeling all that well, it meant the world to me."

"The Player of the Year means a lot because it's from your peers. That is like the ultimate compliment. The money list doesn't really interest me that much only because if you play more, you have a better chance of making more money and I don't play that many events. I'm concentrating on the bigger events. If I can win more events than anyone in a year and more majors than anyone in a year, it's going to be a great year."

"Her focus, her determination, her preparation over the winter months ... people don't realize how hard she works. She didn't get to this level by just hoping she could play well."

"Hundreds of balls, and you might only make one. That's a shot ... once in a lifetime."

"One of the things that my parents have taught me is never listen to other people's expectations. You should live your own life and live up to your own expectations, and those are the only things I really care about it."

"I hope they learn some things that will help their golf game grow."

"The thing is, you see all the money that's available out there. I see where am I going to play. I have no place to play yet. I'm not exempt. I have no security. So if I don't turn pro and I don't make it out here, where am I going to go? Nike? Hooters? Asia? Anywhere but here, I guess."

"Michael left because of the Bulls' management, not because he'd lost his love of playing the game."

"You can always become better."

"I get to play golf for a living. What more can you ask for - getting paid for doing what you love."

"My main focus is on my game."

"I'm addicted. I'm addicted to golf."

"I did envisage being this successful as a player, but not all the hysteria around it off the golf course."

"Green and black go well together, don't they?"

"If money titles meant anything, I'd play more tournaments. The only thing that means a lot to me is winning. If I have more wins than anybody else and win more majors than anybody else in the same year, then it's been a good year."

"The only thing you can do is take a learning experience from it, positives and negatives, and apply them to the future. What did you do right, what did you do wrong, and I did a lot of things right this week,"

"And I don't cook, either. Not as long as they still deliver pizza."

"As a kid, I might have been psycho, I guess, but I used to throw golf balls in the trees and try and somehow make par from them. I thought that was fun."

"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."

"I love to play golf, and that's my arena. And you can characterize it and describe it however you want, but I have a love and a passion for getting that ball in the hole and beating those guys."

"I want to be what I've always wanted to be: dominant."

"I'm aware if I'm playing at my best I'm tough to beat. And I enjoy that."

"I'm not as far along as Jack Nicklaus was at this age, but I'm trying."

"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."

"It will always be the ball and me."

"It is easier to confess a defect than to claim a quality"

"Incongruity is the mainspring of laughter"

"No Roman ever was able to say, `I dined last night with the Borgias'."

"`Ah, say that again,' she murmured. `Your voice is music.' He repeated his question. `Music,' she said dreamily; and such is the force of habit that `I don't,' she added, `know anything about music, really. But I know what I like.'"

"She was one of those people who said ''I don't know anything about music, but I know what I like.''"

"You cannot make a man by standing a sheep on its hind-legs. But by standing a flock of sheep in that position you can make a crowd of men."

"A hundred eyes were fixed on her, and half as many hearts lost to her."

"The dullard's envy of brilliant men is always assuaged by the suspicion that they will come to bad end"

"Fate wrote her [Queen Caroline] a most tremendous tragedy, and she played it in tights."

"The Non-Conformist Conscience makes cowards of us all."

"Undergraduates owe their happiness chiefly to the consciousness that they are no longer at school. The nonsense which was knocked out of them at school is all put gently back at Oxford or Cambridge."

". . . but beauty and the lust for learning have yet to be allied."

"Men of genius are so few that they ought to atone for their fewness by being at any rate ubiquitous."

"People who insist on telling their dreams are among the terrors of the breakfast table"

"You will find that the woman who is really kind to dogs is always one who has failed to inspire sympathy in men."

"No fine work can be done without concentration and self-sacrifice and toil and doubt"

"I need no dictionary of quotations to remind me that the eyes are the windows of the soul"

"There is much to be said for failure. It is more interesting than success."
