PGA of America has been very good to me; played some of the Junior Ryder Cups, and those go down as some of the best experiences I've had on a golf course.

I've had the luxury of playing golf around the world, and I've spent a lot of time evaluating how to play all kinds of courses.

Really in all my years on Tour, in the U.S. Open I probably played great golf in two of them, out of maybe 20, so it's a lot of work.

Without the AJGA, it would be very difficult for the college coaches to find us. Every junior golfer around the country knows about the AJGA and knows that's the way to get to college. And the way to get beyond college.

An American champion, obviously being here in the states, is something that we all look at with the U.S. Open. But golf is played all over the world, and there are so many great golfers from other countries, and we're lucky enough that this is our home base to be able to play out of.

I like going there for golf. America's one vast golf course these days.

If you take my entire golfing life, my favorites are the older courses, the more traditional and the more authentic.

But we do have a golf course near by and I play fairly regularly.

There are so many lessons in life that can be learned through golf. I am not afraid to say that I am still learning some of them and probably will continue for some time.

I started playing golf when I was a kid, because across the street from where we lived there was a little nine-hole golf course where my father worked.
