JIMMY WALKER

It feels so good to win, you want to do it again and again.

Sometimes it's hard. I'm not going to lie. It's tough. You feel like you're killing yourself, and you're giving it all you've got, and you're just not seeing it.

I'm not just Jimmy Walker the golfer. I have a lot of friends. I've got two little boys; I've got a great family. It's all stuff that's helped me become better.

The thing I like about astronomy is being outside at night and seeing the stars in a dark sky. It makes you feel small.

I felt very calm and controlled. That's what you've got to feel and do when it's time to win. It's easy to say, hard to do.

I have a lot of stories to tell because I've been down a lot of roads people haven't been.

The par putts sometimes are bigger than the birdie putts.

You still have to go perform; it doesn't matter what the tournament is.

Sometimes pars are hard.

Winning a major, that's what everybody wants to do, and I worked my whole life to do it. And to realize that, it's incredible.

I'm not going to say I know a ton about what I'm looking at, but I enjoy capturing the photos and the artistry of it. I'm getting better at it, and I'll keep getting better.

I could remember thinking when I met him, 'Wow, that's Andy Sanders from Houston. He's really good.' And he tells me he said, 'Wow, that's Jimmy Walker. He hits it really far.'

Sometimes hard work doesn't pay off.

I'm not really that nerdy.

Sometimes things don't come easy, and golf isn't an easy game.

I travel all over the country, all over the world, and I'm happy to call Texas home.

I'm a good putter. Like good shooters, just keep shooting. I'm just going to keep putting, and they're going to start going in.

Swinging a gold club is sort of a throwing action, and even as a kid, I could throw things far and fast.

I've always felt like I belonged, and you need affirmation every now and then.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out you can't see any stars living in the city. I studied some light-pollution maps, and knew I'd have to get out of San Antonio.

There are guys you've never heard of who drive the ball better than anybody I've seen on the PGA Tour.

We've been trying to get my body and head moving toward the target on the downswing. I have a tendency to hang back and not release the club.

I just go out and play golf.

To have a tournament right where you live is very cool.

In Little League back in Oklahoma, I struck out 14 batters in a six-inning game, and we won the state championship.
