“I suppose it’s the extremely competitive world we live in that forces us to sometimes examine our lives in terms of what we don’t have or haven’t accomplished instead of looking at what we do have or have accomplished. I’ll admit to being as competitive as anyone, so I guess it’s natural that I share this inclination. Assessing my golf career this way is a prime example of looking at a glass as half empty or half full, the difference some say between being an optimist and being a pessimist. Whi...le I certainly consider myself an optimist, I have to admit to succumbing at times to the temptation to share the view held by many—that without the final jewel in my crown, the PGA Championship, my success on the golf course is somehow incomplete. In fact, for years I’ve held in reserve a spot for a PGA medal in a display case that holds awards from my major tournament victories.
