Bernhard Langer Quotes

My coaches and I always stress getting better and working on all aspects, so I'm ready to fight and take it to the next level.

As I said this year, I didn't try to put any pressure on me by setting high goals or anything, I just want to make sure that every single time I'm out there on the court I do my best, I give 100%, and see where it's going to end up next year.

The best players in the world are working so hard, I gotta work even harder.
