I wouldn't call it bitter. I think it's just sweet. I've always believed my life seems like it's gotten better and better as each decade has gone by. So I don't see any I don't see any bitterness about it.

I mean, I can actually say goodbye to the game of golf, never hit another golf shot the rest of my life and I'd be happy because I can get back in life without any rotation.

I wouldn't call it bitter. I think it's just sweet. I've always believed my life seems like it's gotten better and better as each decade has gone by. So I don't see any I don't see any bitterness about it.

The game of golf doesn't come rushing back to you. Last week I made a couple of fundamental mistakes that I probably wouldn't have made in the heat of the battle back when I was in my heyday, and those things have got to come back.

People in this room must have back problems, I'm sure some of us do, and it is really, really one of the worst pains and debilitating parts of your body that you can actually have because you really can't do anything in your life when you have it.

So my game is solid. So that obviously makes me feel confident, that like anybody else in this field, you name them, I feel like I've got the ability to win the golf tournament just as much as they have, and that's the way I'm going to take it.

To me I've just really, really found a relaxed, peaceful side of my life and I'm enjoying it.

The players have competed on the level the last 25 or 30 years are always going to be the players that compete at a high level. These guys practice hard, they work on their game, they still hit the ball extremely well.

I always wanted to be the best I could be at whatever I did. I didn't want to be the number one golfer in the world. I just wanted to be as good as I could be. I work hard, I push myself hard, and I probably even expect too much of myself.

On 18 you've got to drive it up a gnat's ass.

I'm not interested at all in playing more than 12, 15 tournaments a year on an annual basis because like all the old guys out here on this Tour, we've played golf for nearly 30 years of our lives.

When I turned 50, I said to myself, well, if this is what it's like turning 50, I can't wait to turn 60 because I still felt very, very mentally and physically good, outside my back surgery.

Obviously it's my second senior event, and I'm tired obviously coming back from the British Open, from surgery, which was priority No. 1, did that successfully, and each week since the British Open I've felt in pretty good control of my golf game.

I don't see myself playing or adjusting my schedule for senior tournament golf.

My doctor asked me how many golf balls I had hit in my career. I'm lying there in bed calculating somewhere between four and five million golf balls I had hit to do that on my body.

I owe a lot to my parents, especially by mother and my father.

You know, like I said, I'm not going to adjust my Senior Tour schedule.

I think it's great the opportunity is given to all of us really to come out and play major championships after the real major championships have gone beyond us.

Well, I think any national championship is an extremely important championship to play in.

When you see that many people with a smile on their face, then you must be doing something right.

I've really got no complaints about the way I played, just extremely frustrating with the putter and I'm sure there's a lot of other players saying the same thing except the guy who's going to win the golf tournament.

Being away for the weekends, and me being the international player that I have been for those 30 years, I've spent a lot more time flying around the world, playing different golf tournaments around the world.

That's why we have practice rounds. We make the adjustments as we go around, try and find out how to play the golf course the best we can. No big deal, it's nothing to me, it's the same for me as it is to everybody and we're all trying to understand it.

What's a good tournament for him? Winning it. He's good enough.

Setting goals for your game is an art. The trick is in setting them at the right level neither too low nor too high.

I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.

Every time you lose, you think that life's unfair. You think of the bad breaks. But when you're winning and playing well, you still get those bad breaks, only you overcome them. It just depends on how strong your mind is.

Not too much, though there's a certain amount of rancour and bitterness when someone tries to fire you.

Our national history has so often filled us with bitterness and the feeling of helplessness.

If there is anything worse than international warfare, is civil warfare, and the United States was destined to experience it in the extreme of bitterness.

Those who cannot work with their hearts achieve but a hollow, half-hearted success that breeds bitterness all around.

I wouldn't call it bitter. I think it's just sweet. I've always believed my life seems like it's gotten better and better as each decade has gone by. So I don't see any I don't see any bitterness about it.

Hurt leads to bitterness, bitterness to anger, travel too far that road and the way is lost.

Never succumb to the temptation of bitterness.

Beauty, more than bitterness, makes the heart break.

After voluntary exertions on the part of our people to which the history of the world furnishes no parallel, is the old root of bitterness still to remain in the ground, to sprout and bear fruit in the future as it has borne fruit in the past?

Bitterness imprisons life; love releases it.

From the very fountain of enchantment there arises a taste of bitterness to spread anguish amongst the flowers.

From the heart of the fountain of delight rises a jet of bitterness that tortures us among the very flowers.

I've purged myself of bitterness and anger and remained open to love.

To expect too much is to have a sentimental view of life and this is a softness that ends in bitterness.

I am sorry to think that you do not get a man's most effective criticism until you provoke him. Severe truth is expressed with some bitterness.

It is a simple but sometimes forgotten truth that the greatest enemy to present joy and high hopes is the cultivation of retrospective bitterness.

If bitterness wants to get into the act, I offer it a cookie or a gumdrop.

There's a lot of bitterness, there's a lot of anger out there. We all have to work hard to heal those wounds.

Satire is focused bitterness.

Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.

It is hardly possible to build anything if frustration, bitterness and a mood of helplessness prevail.

It is only hope which is real, and reality is a bitterness and a deceit.
