The road to success is always under construction.

What other people may find in poetry or art museums, I find in the flight of a good drive.

The winners at the Olympics step up, bursting with pride, because everything that they have worked for and all their dedication is rewarded in a climax that I, and most golfers, will never experience.

Success in golf depends less on strength of body than upon strength of mind and character.

Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening - and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented.

Putting is like wisdom - partly a natural gift and partly the accumulation of experience.

I've always made a total effort, even when the odds seemed entirely against me. I never quit trying; I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.

I can't be casual about losing. I always think I have a chance to win until winning is absolutely impossible.
