I've never been a fan of belly or long putters, because I don't think anything should be anchored to the body. The art of putting is trying to figure out how to coordinate your arms, wrists, shoulders and hands. That's part of the game.

It's frustrating, because if I take care of the par-fives, I think I would be at the top of the board.

As golfers, we rationalize everything. You hit a bad shot and think, 'I can make birdie from there.' That's how you're supposed to think. You should always try and look at the glass as half full. But any time your parents aren't doing well and their health isn't where it could be and you think it should be, it's always tough. Everyone has to deal with that at some point in time in their life and unfortunately, right now it's our time.

I think the atmosphere is nowhere near what it was in 2000 because I had won the U.S. Open by 15 and the British Open by eight, so 23 shots in two tournaments is pretty good. This year I've won two major championships. The Masters was a little bit closer, but I won the British by five. The atmosphere is also a little different because I've done this before. I guess from some of the media I talked to the novelty factor is not there anymore; I've already done it.

Well, I think it's a title it certainly deserves. He deserves it, after what Arnold has meant to the game of golf, not only here in the United States but around the world. It's certainly something that I think is long overdue.

I think that in itself, if you're a true golfer, you'll see specific things you need to work on. Much cheaper than private lessons.
