I think about what I say. I don't give stock answers. I'm not trying to cultivate an image with the public, like several of the top players do.

And if people do like me, I think it's because I'm a stand-up guy.

But just like I've always said when people complain about tee times, 'I just want a tee time. Just give me one so I can play.'

I may not look it when I'm playing, but I think I'm a fun guy to hang with when I'm relaxing.

I think that players play, and they compete, and it's not about incentives.

I didn't do anything spectacular when I won the Open in 2001. I hit the ball good, not great. I putted good, not great, but I think I missed maybe two putts inside eight feet all week.
