Every shot feels like the first shot of the day. If I'm on the range hitting shot after shot, I can hit them just as good as I did when I was 30. But out on the course, your body changes between shots. You get out of the cart, and you've got this 170-yard 5-iron over a bunker, and it goes about 138.

A hungry dog hunts best.

Lee Trevino

If I could do anything over, I'd have spent more time with my first set of children. I would have taken more quality time with them, for sure.

Lee Trevino

The older I get the better I used to be!

Michael Jordan was a tremendous basketball player.

I keep lot of my opinions to myself. My grandfather, who was a gravedigger, told me one day, 'Son, the next time you go by the cemetery, remember that a third of the people are in there because they got into other people's business.'

Lee Trevino

Pressure is when you play for five dollars a hole with only two in your pocket.

Yes, I think I have the best swing on the Tour. Why have scores comedown in the last ten years? Partly because they are imitating me.

Lee Trevino

I stay away from the telephone if at all possible.

Lee Trevino

I have an orthopedic pillow that's made out of a sponge material. I have a plate in my throat, and I have to be careful or I could end up with a bad neck in the morning. That pillow is a must everywhere I go.

Seve Ballesteros was the best trouble-shot player who ever lived. It didn't matter how far in the woods you put that guy, he'd find a way to get out. But Seve inadvertently put a lot of big numbers on the scorecards of average players, because he inspired them to take dumb chances.

Lee Trevino

I love watching Anthony Kim play, but I'm not a fan of the way he grips down a good two inches on his full-swing shots. Choking down lightens the club's swingweight and effectively makes the shaft stiffer.

Lee Trevino

I'm not scared of very much. I've been hit by lightning and been in the Marine Corps for four years.

Lee Trevino

Nobody but you and your caddie care what you do out there, and if your caddie is betting against you, he doesn't care, either.
