They can assume anything they want. I'm not. I just told my wife yesterday that I need to have a good year so someone will give me a job and I can play again next year. That's my thinking. If I do well enough, maybe I get to play again. I love it. It's fun. I'm not ready to give it up.

I told him to hurry up and be patient. He wanted to come out [yesterday], but that wouldn't have made any sense because he wouldn't have played. When you're hurt like that, you get more recuperation at home. But it's going to be tough [without him]. We need him back as soon as possible.

I think it's fantastic. I was very excited about it. I told my wife, 'I'm not going to mess up a chance like that.' I couldn't.

I felt like I was on the verge of getting knocked out of the game.

I don't believe for one second that the eye surgery has helped me on the mound.

I take golf trips with my brother or with friends. We usually go to Pebble or Bandon Dunes. One year we went to Hawaii.
