"It played hard. It (the wind) was down off the left when I hit. When Robert (Allenby) hit it was in off the right. The wind was just swirling enough where it made it a little bit difficult."

"I don't know if I even have an aura, man. I just try to win."

"My dad has always taught me these words: care and share. That's why we put on clinics. The only thing I can do is try to give back. If it works, it works."

"Patience was the key today. I played a couple of bad shots but made key putts, didn't drop any shots and kept the momentum going,"

"Well, dad wasn't feeling well and it's just the same stuff, just tried to go out there and hopefully make his spirits a little better. Just trying to make him understand that I love him dearly and want him to hang in there and keep fighting, which he always does. He's a very stubborn man, which is good."

"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."

"Pretty high. It's fun to see that all of the hard work that Hank and I have been putting into it is starting to pay off."

"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,"

"He's a guy that understands how to play the golf course. Experience helps a lot on this golf course -- where to miss it, how to play it, the angles you need to have."

"Hockey is a sport for white men. Basketball is a sport for black men. Golf is a sport for white men dressed like black pimps."

"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."
