I'm working my way steadily back and I'm feeling good.

Race horses are like golfers, you're never sure how they're going to come out of the stalls. It's just - hopefully the horses come out of the race all right, just fit and ready to go again in the near future, but 3rd was good. It's paid for its hay. Future
102
People always say golfers don't smile. But there is so much psychology in golf so we have to be a bit robotic. Smile
103
People mature at different stages and I feel I'm learning a lot. Learning
104
No, I don't have any problems leaving disappointments behind. I've had lots of good days at golf and a few disappointments, so you never know what's around the corner.
105
Yeah, two or three weeks ago I was fairly snappy. I've never been injured before and this year it feels like I've hardly played.
106
The Singapore Open is the flagship event of the Asian Tour, it is a massive event and it is being played in a great place. I love coming here and it is good to be back.
107
My dad said: 'It looks like you'll be world No.1 in a few hours and I wanted to be the first to say congratulations.' Dad

Sometimes Americans don't quite get my sense of humor. My good ol' British sarcasm seems to go over their heads. Humor

Golf is played between the ears and if you are not 100 percent focused on what you are trying to do, then people will go past you no matter who you are.

Now I'm giving up a little in the week-to-week tournaments but reaping the benefits in the majors.
111
You don't win tournaments by playing well and thinking poorly.
112
Probably the best caddies are the smartest ones and the ones that are switched on mentally more than some of the others maybe.
113
People confuse being world No. 1 with winning a Major championship.
114
I've started to show the consistency in majors I had in regular tournaments back in 1998-2000 when I was contending nearly every week.
115
You're the only one in control over your golf ball. It's not like tennis: you're hitting a shot and somebody's hitting it back at you.
116
It's such a psychological and mental game, golf, that the smallest wrong thing at the wrong time can distract you from what you're trying to achieve.
117
I'm a golfer - not an athlete.
118
In my case what happened next in 1999 was that I fell apart over that back nine. When I saw I was in genuine contention that year I felt like throwing up. That remains probably the most nervous I've ever been on a golf course.
119
Yeah, I feel good. Good about my game and my life.
120
I'm heavier, but with muscle rather than flab. It's a massive difference. It means I don't get as tired sometimes and it means that I'm hitting the ball a lot farther, about 15 yards more with my driver.
121
Eighteen months ago I weighed 95kg and had a 40-inch waist. Now the waist is down to 34 inches and I weigh nearly 98kg.
122
I'm the best in the world.
123
Listen, everything I did in my childhood was competitive. Everything we did my dad made it into a game to win. We used to drive my mum nuts.
124
The satisfaction you get when you finally beat your dad is amazing, that rush of adrenaline.

I never take myself too seriously.

Golf is difficult to get your personality over because you are such a bottle of concentration.
202
Yes, a Major would mean so much to me but I'm a great believer that if you work hard and in the right way, you will get what you deserve.
203
I'm 37, I'm pretty fit and feel I have another eight years left - which means there's 32 Majors still to go at.
204
I ruptured my plantaris muscle. It runs through the calf and goes down the side of your achilles and stretches right to the heel.
205
I've said before that the Ryder Cup is not the European Tour versus the American Tour. It's Europe's best golfers against the US.
206
I know I'm good enough to contend in each and every major I play.
207
I'm hitting it better than last year. The putting is getting close now, too.
208
Even when I finished third at the U.S. Open a few weeks back, I didn't putt very well, nor in the last round of last year's Masters when Mickelson won, nor last year's Open at Turnberry, where I came second.
209
Just because I keep getting close and don't win these Majors, I must not panic.
