I will fall in love with any golf course that you have to drive the ball straight. You understand what I'm saying? That's my advantage. My advantage wasn't putting. In fact, I wasn't even a great putter or a good putter.
The only club in the bag specifically designed to get the ball in the cup is the putter. Why not learn it first?
We actually flattened my putter 1.5 degrees. I have a long-neck putter and it was weird because they flattened it, but it got my hands more vertical and into the position I wanted them to be in.
The divorce is from my old putter. I think it's final - at least we're due for a long separation. I've suffered with that old putter for two years now. It got so rude I couldn't stand it.
I've always been a good ball-striker, but if you're not a great putter, you're not going to win a lot.
Why am I using a new putter? Because the last one didn't float too well.
A good putter is a match for anyone. A bad putter is a match for no one.
When I'm on with my putting, I'm as good a putter as there is, probably.
Know what the difference between hitting .250 and .300 is? It's 25 hits - 25 hits in 500 at-bats is 50 points. There's six months in a season, that's about 25 weeks. That means if you get just one extra flare a week - just one - you get a ground ball with eyes, you get a dying quail, just one more dying quail a week ... and you're in Yankee Stadium.
We have a philosophy of we'll keep putting it up until people get it. We did that actually these last three weeks with Cracked Out from New York. People didn't really understand them. We put them up three weeks ago and they just got stared at.
I have six racquets and usually two pairs of tennis shoes with me. Most of the time, the shoes can last two or three weeks if I'm playing all the week. I'm not the kind of player who slides a lot, so I just need one extra pair in my bag.
The greens are so fast I have to hold my putter over the ball and hit it with the shadow.

The ball retriever is not long enough to get my putter out of the tree.
The U.S. Open just takes so much discipline. You have got to be a great putter and just kind of let things roll off your back.
I'm a good putter. Like good shooters, just keep shooting. I'm just going to keep putting, and they're going to start going in.
