Golf is a spiritual game. It's like Zen. You have to let your mind take over.
My mother was right when she said that turning pro would take away my youth.
As a kid when I was growing up, as any kid, you think you know every thing and I was no different to that.
Younger guys now are all working out, and you find that if everyone's doing it and you're not doing it, you're going to be left behind.
I feel like every word I say now, I can really inspire people.
I feel I am very fortunate to have a job that I really like.
I have no superstitions. I don't have to have a Sunday outfit. I don't have socks or underwear I have to wear.
Early in my career, my 3-, 5- and 9-irons performed differently than my other irons. But I adapted and made them work.
Nancy Lopez has always been a role model of mine... so to have the opportunity to play for her and spend time with her has been amazing.
The best way to explain it is that I'm not yearning anymore, on or off the course. I appreciate what I have. I feel like I'm blessed.
The best gift I could give my father would be to represent India in the Olympics. If I can do that in 2016, and even win a medal, it will be fantastic.
Most nervous I've ever been is probably the 2007 Walker Cup. I was a little boy playing with these 8 or 9 other guys that were the best amateurs in the country.
When I leave the country, I'm very, very cautious about what I eat and drink. No vegetables, no fruit.
Until you play it, St. Andrews looks like the sort of real estate you couldn't give away.
To be consistently effective, you must put a certain distance between yourself and what happens to you on the golf course. This is not indifference, it's detachment.
The most satisfying accomplishment for me was winning the British Open in 1996. But the most rewarding times were the times on the mini tours.
My father taught me that the easiest thing to do was to quit. He'd say, 'It doesn't take any talent to do that.'
I've never played the Olympic Club. I have played Lytham, but only some amateur events. I haven't played Kiawah.
I'm probably an average hitter, at least, and if you talk to my peers, they will tell you that I hit the ball plenty far enough.
I'm not scared of very much. I've been hit by lightning and been in the Marine Corps for four years.
My point is, there's no sense trying to squeeze something out of your swing if you can let your clubs do the shotmaking for you.
