Zitat des Tages von Matt Kuchar:
I grew up admiring Phil Mickelson. He loves competing, and he loves the fans' support, similar to me. In terms of my playing style, Steve Stricker and I are similar.
I was always taught that the first rule of bunker play is to just get the ball out. When you have a steep face in front of you, this rule applies more than ever. Here, you have to get the ball up in the air as quickly as possible.
When I'm really purring it, I feel as if my whole left side - from knee to hip to shoulder - is turning behind me as I swing through the ball.
Although I'm a scratch Ping-Pong player, there is no possibility of me beating a top professional.
I love getting up to my folks' house and playing golf with Dad. He's very involved with my off-course ventures, and I talk to him every third day.
I want to qualify for the Tour Championship. Being a Georgia Tech grad, playing at East Lake would feel like home.
Sometimes in golf I've got 10,000 people watching me. Cameras are easy. Doing the Jay Leno show was easy.
I've always been a guy that's liked a crowd and having people around cheering for me. I'm not a guy that will keep his head down or respond negatively to boos or whatever.
I felt I could play in maybe a dozen tournaments a year as an amateur.
I used to turn my shoulders pretty level, which a lot of golfers think is correct. But that made my swing too shallow coming into impact, so my contact was picky, especially off the turf.
I have a random array of ball markers in my bag and don't use any specific one. Many are the plastic kind you find at almost any golf course.
I'm always a competitor. I'm not there just to have a good time. I want to play well and perform well.
Even if you finish the year at No. 1 in the world, and Tiger Woods has done this, you can still probably get better.
I'd like to see something done about the long putters and belly putters. But I go back and forth on that. I've actually worked with a belly putter.
Golf's a great game, and you meet a lot of people along the way.
I'm a decent table tennis player, but if you were to put me up against any of the guys you see on television at the Olympics, I'd be lucky to get a couple of points.
I'm a pretty low-stress guy. I take what the golf course gives me. Some days, when I'm in full control, I'm able to fire at pins with 5-irons. Other days, I'm looking more toward the middle of the green.
