I have two mini dachshunds, Lola and Charlie.

Winning is never enough, and I've got to try and do it as much as I can before my time is over.
My dad was a violent alcoholic. Really aggressive.
I did play other sports growing up. I played cricket and all those other things, but I was just so much more talented in golf, and that's all I wanted to do.
I'm still trying to be No. 1 in the world, like everyone else is out there.
I didn't have a dollar to my name in 2006.
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.
When I get to 40, I'm going to re-evaluate everything and then go from there. Because when I get to 40, I would like to see where I'm at in my career because I might want to go, 'You know what, I'm done. I'm just happy with everything,' and I'm going to go off my merry way, and I'll probably never pick up a golf club ever again.
It's O.K. to fail. Just keep putting yourself there. Once I started saying that and really believing that, over time, it just gradually gave me confidence.
I think the stress of being No. 1 in the world is more of a motivating factor for me just because I don't want to lose it.
I'm motivated to be No. 1.
There's a lot of spotlight that comes along with being the best in the world.
It just flat-out sucks losing. It really - it doesn't feel good.
For some reason, every time I get a little bit under the weather, I've got zero patience.
Anything can happen, so you have to control your attitude and stay strong.
It's quite nice to play on a golf course that, even though it is links, that there's not much wind, which is good.
Golf is so selfish - it's so much about how do we get better and get to the next level.
I travel with Club Glove.
I want to be able to be looked back on and know that he was one of the greats in the game.
Sometimes I play for the media, sometimes for the fans, sometimes for my sponsors, and sometimes it's for my family. Really, I play for everyone.
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.
I need to get better with my 3-wood and hybrid. Those are the clubs I missed the majority of my fairways with.
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.
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.
This is a great thing, to make a living as a professional golfer, isn't it?
If you don't believe in yourself, somewhere or another, you sabotage yourself.
I've got to come into the day enjoying myself and go from there.
The only two things that I think about in life is my family and golf. That's all I want to think about.
I look at that 10 PGA Tour wins, and I say to myself, 'That's not enough,' and it isn't enough for me. It's just 10. I want more than 10.
Rest is huge because if you're sleep-deprived, that can definitely run into the mental side of the game and can definitely hurt your game if you're playing tournament golf.
You've got to come out and fire on all cylinders and get yourself up the leaderboard and show people that you're there and you're ready to win.
I look back on the influence my dad had on my life and career, and I just try to take the best parts of what he had.
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.
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.
Being an Australian that's been No. 1 in the world back home playing in Australia, that's a pretty cool moment to have.
All I did was go to school and play golf. I didn't have much of a social life.
Australian golf did so much for me, and that is why I am here today.
I think I definitely like the solitude of golf.
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 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's like Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy had a baby, and I was it. I've got Rory's length, and I'm hoping that I've got Jordan's touch.
Sometimes your immune system gets a little heated, and you're more susceptible to getting some illnesses that way.
To be able to know that I can push myself a little further than you think you can was so important. And that it's a mental barrier more than anything. You can break through it.
I want to win every single tournament that I'm playing in.
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.
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.
A lot of people underestimate rest, especially sleeping and recovery time.
My dad was the way he was, but he also gave me a motto: never say die. Just to keep pushing and pushing, fighting until the end. He put it in my head that you're always going to fight, and you're always going to beat them.
I tend to watch the score board a lot.
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.
