    I left home at 17, traveled. I got married when I was 21. That’s a young age. As it turned out, things were fine, then not so fine, and then it was a blunder. That happens all the time.

    My mom was so people-friendly. She was incredible. She’d go to the mall, and she’d talk to everyone. Give people a kiss on the cheek. I think if I wasn’t pushed around a lot, I’d be great with people. Maybe I still can be.

    My goal has always been to play golf, and play it well. In the end, that’s what I am, a golfer. If my back lets me, I’m going to play my favorite places. If I hurt myself, that’ll probably be it for a while.

    I expect myself to do well. I’m not, like, ‘Oh, well.’ I’m not in that category just yet. I don’t play great golf a lot anymore. I do it every now and then. I finished third in the British Open last year, so I know I can still do it.

    I could go away five or six weeks in a row and never touch a club. I would just look at them and say, ‘I just don’t want to; it’s not that important.’ And it wasn’t that important. Golf – I don’t want to answer loosely – I pay a lot of attention to it, but I don’t ever really think about it.
