Sometimes hard work doesn't pay off.
I have a lot of stories to tell because I've been down a lot of roads people haven't been.
The thing I like about astronomy is being outside at night and seeing the stars in a dark sky. It makes you feel small.
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out you can't see any stars living in the city. I studied some light-pollution maps, and knew I'd have to get out of San Antonio.
I can't take anything back. I've just kept grinding and kept working.
The par putts sometimes are bigger than the birdie putts.
I've always felt like I belonged, and you need affirmation every now and then.
I just go out and play golf.
I travel all over the country, all over the world, and I'm happy to call Texas home.
I felt very calm and controlled. That's what you've got to feel and do when it's time to win. It's easy to say, hard to do.
To have a tournament right where you live is very cool.
I'm not just Jimmy Walker the golfer. I have a lot of friends. I've got two little boys; I've got a great family. It's all stuff that's helped me become better.
There are guys you've never heard of who drive the ball better than anybody I've seen on the PGA Tour.
Today, at 35, I can throw a small football close to 80 yards - and straighter than I can hit a golf ball.
In Little League back in Oklahoma, I struck out 14 batters in a six-inning game, and we won the state championship.
Swinging a gold club is sort of a throwing action, and even as a kid, I could throw things far and fast.
I'm not going to say I know a ton about what I'm looking at, but I enjoy capturing the photos and the artistry of it. I'm getting better at it, and I'll keep getting better.
Winning a major, that's what everybody wants to do, and I worked my whole life to do it. And to realize that, it's incredible.
How does one gain confidence? It's just the repetitive nature of telling you how good you are. How good of a putter and chipper you are. How you've got this. You can beat the best players in the world. You've got all the talent. You just have to believe in yourself.
Sometimes things don't come easy, and golf isn't an easy game.
