The satisfaction you get when you finally beat your dad is amazing, that rush of adrenaline.
To have the opportunity to complete the slam at the Open at St Andrews, the home of golf, is something I will never ever forget.
I literally couldn't get anyone to hire me. Having a woman do sports was seen as too risky.
My divorce came to me as a complete surprise. That's what happens when you haven't been home in eighteen years.
I want to qualify for the Tour Championship. Being a Georgia Tech grad, playing at East Lake would feel like home.

Suppose a country starts its independence with the three economic characteristics that globally make a country prone to civil war: low income, slow growth, and dependence upon primary commodity exports. It is playing Russian roulette. That is not jus...
Equality of opportunity is not enough. Unless we create an environment where everyone is guaranteed some minimum capabilities through some guarantee of minimum income, education, and healthcare, we cannot say that we have fair competition. When some ...
