I was a baseball player and a football player at Stanford, so I didn't play a lot of golf in college. I really started playing a lot after I turned pro and I had some time in the off-season.

I grew up in a family that played golf, and my brother was much better than me, so I kind of put that aside. I had to be good at something other than golf.

When golf used to be a rich man's sport, if you were poor you could not step foot on a course.

I was a hotshot as a junior. When I was 18, I really got into fiddling around. I completely lost interest in golf, and I guess all I could think about was going to college, getting married and having babies.

I played golf competitively as a teenager. I actually took a year off after high school and just played golf and went to a university in France for maybe a month and dropped out.

Golf is like 99.9 percent of my life, and then there's school. I don't get much time to go out with my friends.

When I was growing up, golf was the geeky sport. No one really wanted to be associated with it.

I didn't really get into golf until I was about 14. My mom and dad were taking lessons from a pro an hour and a half from our farm in Cohuna, Australia. When they got home, I'd ask my mom to explain everything they learned - drills and all.

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.

I was the youngest of seven kids and I would not have been able to go to college without an athletic scholarship.
