Golf is a humbling sport.
It's all about becoming a more well-rounded player and not a one-dimensional player. You might hear someone say, 'Hilton Head sets up well for them.' I don't want that stereotype.
I've never really been somebody that thinks too much about what I've done.
Playing with Phil Mickelson, it doesn't get any better than that.
I've been trying to be the best representative for my school, my family, and the USGA as I possibly could.
I was born in Massachusetts. I live in Stillwater. I went to school in Florida.
It's the Masters. If that doesn't get you nervous and your juices flowing, I don't know what does.
My dad is just like everybody else's dad. I see him as kind of a goofy guy with a great sense of humor. I try to get in a battle of wits with him, but he always gets me. I emulate him because I've never seen anyone work as hard as he does.
You are going to hit some good shots and not get rewarded, but that's just U.S. Open golf. It's tough; it's hard.
When I was 13, I told my dad I wanted to move to Florida to attend the IMG Academy. I wanted to be a golfer, and that's hard to do in New England where I could only practice half the year.
I've never really been somebody who likes to hit it straight. That's just never been my forte, I guess.
It's an honor to win the Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year award.
Take Ernie Els. He plays in every country. You see his name everywhere. He's received in different parts of the world. It's a good experience.
I had always wanted to see the world, and the PGA Tour was always going to be there.
Winning is fun and great, but I would rather have a long, successful and healthy career than a short one with a few wins.
Name a country, and I have probably been there.
I did some traveling as an amateur and always loved the different places I saw.
I don't mind playing or watching a movie or sitting down.
I felt like, by the end of the week in the U.S. Amateur, I was never aiming at a flag; I was just hitting it at slopes and just letting the natural contours take over.
I'm just going to go out and play. At the end of the day, you are still hitting a little white ball with your clubs.
