When you have a lot of confidence and you feel like nobody can beat you, it's game over for everyone else.
Jason Day
Anything can happen, so you have to control your attitude and stay strong.
I'm proud to partner with organizations that place an emphasis on and share my interest in giving back to the community. RBC has a rich history of doing this through their sponsorship of golf and the extensive ambassadorial program they have in place.
I'm getting better and better each year that I'm playing golf on the world stage, and finishing runner-up only teaches you how to continue being patient - something that is key to our game.
I've got good vibes up here in the Akron area, Cleveland area.
From the vertigo, I found out how far I can push myself physically and also mentally.
I've never been more motivated to be No. 1 in the world. I've never been more motivated to try to extend that lead from one to two. All the hard work that I've put into my game right now has paid off, but I've got to keep working hard to win as much as I can.
The vertigo is a difficult thing: it just comes and goes whenever it pleases. I wasn't expecting it. I've had it before, and there have been years between stretches, and unfortunately it happened at the U.S. Open, and that knocked me off my feet.
Just looking when I was little at pictures of cars and houses that I wanted - it gives you a certain motivation, it gives you a goal.
If you don't believe in yourself, somewhere or another, you sabotage yourself.
I'm trying to adapt - they say you have to adapt to vertigo.
There's a lot of spotlight that comes along with being the best in the world.
You could have all the tools in the world, but if you really don't want to be there, or if there's something that's off course that's playing on your mind... the game of golf is so mental, and if you don't have everything in the right order, it's very difficult to win golf tournaments.
As I get older, my body isn't bulletproof, and it's starting to break down. And I'm still young, so it's something that I have to maintain, something that I have to work extra, extra hard, just as hard as my golf game, I have to work on my body as well.
My dad was a violent alcoholic. Really aggressive.
Australian golf did so much for me, and that is why I am here today.
It's okay to say what you want to do.
The biggest waste of time of my life was playing 'Call of Duty.' But I got really good at 'Call of Duty' - a little bit too good at that time.
I think if you try a little bit too hard sometimes, you can kind of shoot yourself in the foot.
The want to improve myself and win tournaments and see how far I go is crucial.
I honestly thought I was going to win a major championship quicker than what I did, but it clearly took a little bit longer than expected.
Driver has always been fine, and the rest of the clubs have been fine. It's just for some reason, the 3-wood... that's just one of those clubs.
When I lost my dad, there was no one there to be the disciplinarian, and we kind of ran amok.
Everyone has an uncomfortable club in their bag.
I didn't have a dollar to my name in 2006.
Just to be able to say you're No. 1, you are the best golfer on the planet, just for one day, would be the best thing ever. Knowing that you were the best in the world would be pretty neat.
I'm all about Adidas.
If you're going to have a bad attitude, you may as well not even tee it up that week because you probably won't play good anyways.
I was very poor when I was young.
I use this app that keeps my handicap. As professionals, we don't keep handicaps. But as a kid, I was so excited about seeing how low I could get my handicap. So that's one app I really do use a lot.
It's about the learning, because obviously I learn more when I fail than when I win.
All I can do is control my preparation process from both a physical and mental stand point.
A lot of people underestimate rest, especially sleeping and recovery time.
Family comes first, and golf is second.
My goal is to be the No. 1 golfer in the world, and I want to chase Tiger.
The only two things that I think about in life is my family and golf. That's all I want to think about.
I want to win every single tournament that I'm playing in.
I'm motivated to be No. 1.
I need to improve my shorter stuff with my irons, from 100 to 175 yards. If I can hit a few more greens with those clubs and tighten up the proximity to the hole, that would help a lot.
I'm Australian, so I love the stores near Crowne Plaza Melbourne, on the banks of the Yarra River.
It's very stressful being the No. 1 player in the world. You're in the limelight a lot. You've got more things to do when you get to tournaments, more things to do off weeks. But I wouldn't change it in any way because this is exactly where I want to be. I want to try and stay here as long as I can while I can because nothing beats this feeling.
You have to come in to major championships, and your attitude has to be on point.
I remember not having a hot water tank, so we had to use a kettle for hot showers. So, you know, we would put the kettle on and go have a shower, and then my mum would come bring three or four kettles in, just to heat them up. And it would take five, 10 minutes for every kettle to heat up.
Sometimes your immune system gets a little heated, and you're more susceptible to getting some illnesses that way.
I have to work harder than what I am now to make sure that I stay on top of this and stay on top of the world and be competitive in major championships.
It just flat-out sucks losing. It really - it doesn't feel good.
I have always practiced by myself. It's just because that is when I can do the most work, the most efficient work, is when I am by myself, and I think I just find a little bit of peace when it comes to being able to be out here on the golf course, and you are just you and yourself and your thoughts.
It really is amazing that some days you'll come out and you'll feel like you can beat anyone, and then some days you come out and you've got no confidence in the world, and you can't break an egg with a hammer.
I'm still trying to be No. 1 in the world, like everyone else is out there.
I want to win as many tournaments as I can.
