Payne Stewart Golf Quotations

I mean, at the time I would rather come here and sit on the lake than go practice and work on my golf game. Today I have a different philosophy.

The '92 U.S. Open at Pebble got out of control. I have never played on a harder golf course in harder conditions than that last round at Pebble.

This thing is for the game of golf, yeah, but trust me, the Europeans don't have that mentality.

Invariably something happens at a U.S. Open where the golf course gets out of control one day, they have one pin that's out of control. It always seems to happen. But they've gotten better about the height of the rough.

I don't think it's healthy to take yourself too seriously.

If you can't laugh at yourself, then how can you laugh at anybody else? I think people see the human side of you when you do that.

Tiger is the greatest thing that's happened to the tour in a long time. He has brought incredible attention to golf at a time of year when football and the World Series always take precedence. Everything I've heard about him seems to be true.

A bad attitude is worse than a bad swing.

But in the end it's still a game of golf, and if at the end of the day you can't shake hands with your opponents and still be friends, then you've missed the point.
