If I'd done this last week there wouldn't be a controversy. If I was such a lock to be on the Ryder Cup team, I should have made it by myself. I've got no one to blame but myself.

As soon as we saw it, we just busted out laughing. The guy was completely humiliated.

It's got no chance. You can't ban metal spikes.

The perception now is that (Woods) is still the guy to beat. But I don't think guys think it's a given that he's going to win.

I knew it all last year, ... My thought was, I've got to play myself into the Masters. That happened to me in '98, too. My Open exemption from '93 was running out. That was my main motivation when I won the Open again at Olympic Club in '98, that I had to play my way back into the majors, at least get a top-15... I've been working on some stuff, shot some good scores but just haven't been able to put up four in a row.

I watch guys do it all the time and they're doing it wrong. They don't know what they're doing.
