Phil Mickelson Play Quotations

The object of golf is not just to win. It is to play like a gentleman, and win.

My family has reduced the effect of my career on my self-esteem. When I'm with them, they make me feel special regardless of how I play.

I hate to play a tournament in which I'm not contending. It's just not any fun for me.

Its just as disappointing as it was thrilling to win the Masters. To come very close, to play so hard for 72 holes and play better than everybody but one guy is disappointing.

I don't think my style of play is what has prevented me from winning major championships. I think that execution has been more of a factor.

It should almost be a prerequisite to play Castle Stuart before you're allowed to design golf courses nowadays.

I would rather try a shot to win than play safe and finish second.

My style of play won't ever change, because I enjoy that aggressive style of golf. It allows me to play my best. When I attack pins, I stay more focused. I get more into the shot and, consequently, I get more out of the shot and out of my game by playing aggressive.
