Oakmont is probably the premier - Oakmont and Augusta National are probably the top two set of greens in the country.
I've always - I grew up on the old-style traditional type of golf course, tree lined and all small greens, big undulations. And Oakmont just fit my eye.
Oakmont, you've got to be playing slope.
Oakmont possesses all the charm of a sock to the head.
I use a 1994 South African 5 rand coin to mark my ball. It reminds me of my '94 U.S. Open win at Oakmont.
I enjoy Augusta. I enjoy its challenges. There's no other golf course like this anywhere. Its greens and its challenges on and around the greens are just super, super tough. So the greens are fun to play in sort of a morbid way.

Bob Ford is a great guy. He's a great friend. He's done a great job at Oakmont and Seminole. He's a very quiet man. He doesn't get in the middle of everything, but he understands what a nice job he's done at both places.
They don't cut the greens here at Augusta. they use bikini wax.
At Isleworth, they get the greens up to the sort of speeds we see at Augusta, so it's really helpful.
The experience at the Masters was two years ago, and I am eager to win again this year so I can return to Augusta National in 2016.
As for 1994 [ U.S. Open], I didn't do very well, but it was a great occasion for me even though I was not playing the way I had hoped. And it was obviously a very emotional day that last day, but it was a great memory for me and I have had a lot of great memories at Oakmont over the years.
If you're one of the fortunate few on this Earth with a pass to enter the gates of Augusta National on Masters Sunday, you don't leave early. You just don't. If it's a Masters Sunday when Tiger Woods is near the top of the leader board, you really don't leave early.
Augusta National... an oasis of career-defining moments.
I think Augusta will be a really good course for me because I hit the ball very high, and I'll be able to hit some shorter irons into those firm and fast greens, so having maximum spin won't hurt.
It's [Augusta National] a difficult course and it doesn't make it easier when you have three shanks.
You have to be sharp with all aspects of your game at Augusta. You need to put yourself in the best spot off the tee and hit the longest drive you can, but I think this is really a second-shot course. If you leave yourself with an awkward putt on the greens, it can be very tricky here.
