“It’s up to the captain. I certainly feel my golf is worthy of playing in the Ryder Cup. But I’m not sure I’m on the radar screen of Paul McGinley.”

You know, as you get older, the first thing you lose is memory. It seems to be happening with me.

It’s just a matter of hitting the ball where I want to hit it and hopefully making some putts.

If you drag your shoe a bit those plastic spikes or rubber spikes can be almost as bad as metal spikes.

Competition is healthy. It makes you work harder and strive for more and try to find that extra one or two percent in your game that you could possibly improve.

That’s the difference between golf and many other sports. You go to some other sporting events, they just leave you or give you the cold shoulder and move on.

Well, the memories were obviously – every match is important, every point counts, especially the last sort of 18, 20 years when the matches have been so tight.

We all know, the ones who play golf, know what a wonderful game it is and what a great past-time it is.

You know why the game of golf is popular? Very easy, it’s a great game.

I grew up a Catholic and I dont want to talk badly about the Catholic Church but theres a lot of routine stuff going on. You say the same prayers, you sit, you kneel, whatever.

I’m nervous when I play in the Masters or most other tournaments.

Be decisive. A wrong decision is generally less disastrous than indecision.

Every player has the option to have metal spikes or other spikes or whatever they feel most comfortable in.

I know thousands of German’s who are totally different from me, so we’re not alike, we’re not the same.

I’m certainly not a saint out there on the golf course. In fact, far from it. Like when you make a three-putt and become upset. I take one step back and remember there are more important things going on in the world than golf.

You can’t cover people with perceptions because we are all different.

I crack jokes and play games and that’s really more my nature than being cold.

Without freedom of choice, there is no creativity. Without creativity, there is no life.

It’s LeBron’s team. He’s the captain. This is the time in my career where I can fit in. I’m now in the security business. My job is to protect the King, and that’s what I’m here to do.

She was the captain of her soul

When I was on the Ryder Cup team and I surrounded myself with the other 11 guys and our captains, being in that locker room, it gave me an extra sense of confidence.

Sure, women sportswriters look when they’re in the clubhouse. Read their stories. How else do you explain a capital letter in the middle of a word?

I felt pride, wonderful pride, when I was captain. It was an honour to take over from Labby. Anybody who has ever captained a big club, which Everton are, will tell you it’s a great honour.

A boat can’t have two captains.

You got to tell me the brave captain Why are the wicked so strong? How do the angels get to sleep When the devil leaves the porch light on?
