I use a 1994 South African 5 rand coin to mark my ball. It reminds me of my '94 U.S. Open win at Oakmont.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I usually have a few coins in my pocket when I'm playing, but the one I use to mark my ball on the green is a special silver coin that my wife designed for me. It has our wedding date inscribed on it.
I used to keep a coin jar and would cash it in when I was pinched a little, back-in-the-day. I would always be shocked when the amount totaled $200 to $300.
The London games mark the 24th anniversary of my winning two golds and setting the world record in the heptathlon. Someone is going to want it; records are made to be broken - it's only a matter of time. I hope mine will outlive me.
I'm not a gambling-man. I have never bet a dollar in all my life.
We're playing the Superbowl this year, we're opening up before the coins drop.
I'm not really a gambler, but I'll bet on the Super Bowl or some boxing. Something I feel comfortable with.
I'm a bit of a pick-pocket on-set. If something is small enough to go in my pocket, and it will be neat memorabilia, it's gone.
I grab coins and tees in my travels, but I usually mark my ball with a coin from Argentina, either a peso or a 10-centavo piece.
I've got a coin with my face on it. It is really bizarre.
I'm not really a betting person. I work too hard for my money to give it away.
