I've got good vibes up here in the Akron area, Cleveland area.		101
Golf is so selfish - it's so much about how do we get better and get to the next level.		102
My goal is to be the No. 1 golfer in the world, and I want to chase Tiger.		103
'Golf Digest' had all the old school swings, and my favorite swing, ever, was Nick Faldo's swing. And it had all the greats, Ernie Els and Nick Faldo and all that stuff, and I had the pictures of their swing sequences on my wall.		104
The vertigo is a difficult thing: it just comes and goes whenever it pleases. I wasn't expecting it. I've had it before, and there have been years between stretches, and unfortunately it happened at the U.S. Open, and that knocked me off my feet.		105
Just to be able to say you're No. 1, you are the best golfer on the planet, just for one day, would be the best thing ever. Knowing that you were the best in the world would be pretty neat.		106
If my dad was alive, I wouldn't have gone to boarding school, and I wouldn't have had the success I've had.		107
There is no real way to prepare yourself for having a child other than just getting thrown in the deep end pretty quick.		108
Family comes first, and golf is second.		109
I remember not having a hot water tank, so we had to use a kettle for hot showers. So, you know, we would put the kettle on and go have a shower, and then my mum would come bring three or four kettles in, just to heat them up. And it would take five, 10 minutes for every kettle to heat up.		110
I don't feel as though I am under any pressure to return to Australia, given I won the PGA Championship, and I am just hoping everyone back home will understand my situation. I just want to make sure I am there for Ellie and that she has my support when she has our second child.		111
I'm trying to adapt - they say you have to adapt to vertigo.		112
As I get older, my body isn't bulletproof, and it's starting to break down. And I'm still young, so it's something that I have to maintain, something that I have to work extra, extra hard, just as hard as my golf game, I have to work on my body as well.		113
The biggest waste of time of my life was playing 'Call of Duty.' But I got really good at 'Call of Duty' - a little bit too good at that time.		114
I use this app that keeps my handicap. As professionals, we don't keep handicaps. But as a kid, I was so excited about seeing how low I could get my handicap. So that's one app I really do use a lot.		115
I'm proud to partner with organizations that place an emphasis on and share my interest in giving back to the community. RBC has a rich history of doing this through their sponsorship of golf and the extensive ambassadorial program they have in place.		116
It's quite nice to play on a golf course that, even though it is links, that there's not much wind, which is good.		117

I look back on the influence my dad had on my life and career, and I just try to take the best parts of what he had.		119
Anything can happen, so you have to control your attitude and stay strong.	Attitude	120
My dad was the way he was, but he also gave me a motto: never say die. Just to keep pushing and pushing, fighting until the end. He put it in my head that you're always going to fight, and you're always going to beat them.		121
You've got to come out and fire on all cylinders and get yourself up the leaderboard and show people that you're there and you're ready to win.		122
For some reason, every time I get a little bit under the weather, I've got zero patience.	Patience	123
A lot of people underestimate rest, especially sleeping and recovery time.		124
Rest is huge because if you're sleep-deprived, that can definitely run into the mental side of the game and can definitely hurt your game if you're playing tournament golf.		125
It just flat-out sucks losing. It really - it doesn't feel good.		126
I've never been more motivated to be No. 1 in the world. I've never been more motivated to try to extend that lead from one to two. All the hard work that I've put into my game right now has paid off, but I've got to keep working hard to win as much as I can.		201
I look at that 10 PGA Tour wins, and I say to myself, 'That's not enough,' and it isn't enough for me. It's just 10. I want more than 10.		202
There's a lot of spotlight that comes along with being the best in the world.		203
It's very stressful being the No. 1 player in the world. You're in the limelight a lot. You've got more things to do when you get to tournaments, more things to do off weeks. But I wouldn't change it in any way because this is exactly where I want to be. I want to try and stay here as long as I can while I can because nothing beats this feeling.		204

To be able to know that I can push myself a little further than you think you can was so important. And that it's a mental barrier more than anything. You can break through it.		210
If you don't believe in yourself, somewhere or another, you sabotage yourself.		211
It's O.K. to fail. Just keep putting yourself there. Once I started saying that and really believing that, over time, it just gradually gave me confidence.		212
Sometimes your immune system gets a little heated, and you're more susceptible to getting some illnesses that way.		213
This is a great thing, to make a living as a professional golfer, isn't it?		214
When I get to 40, I'm going to re-evaluate everything and then go from there. Because when I get to 40, I would like to see where I'm at in my career because I might want to go, 'You know what, I'm done. I'm just happy with everything,' and I'm going to go off my merry way, and I'll probably never pick up a golf club ever again.		215
It's like Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy had a baby, and I was it. I've got Rory's length, and I'm hoping that I've got Jordan's touch.		216

I'm still trying to be No. 1 in the world, like everyone else is out there.		224
I think I definitely like the solitude of golf.		225
I have always practiced by myself. It's just because that is when I can do the most work, the most efficient work, is when I am by myself, and I think I just find a little bit of peace when it comes to being able to be out here on the golf course, and you are just you and yourself and your thoughts.		226
