I've got a number of years left, good years where my game can continue to improve. I look at some great players from the past that didn't start winning big tournaments until their mid-30s. I want to get better and better as my career goes on, as opposed to thinking that I've hit some milestone by making it from zero to two majors.
More Quotes from Phil Mickelson:
I've putted very poorly, and I've got to get the ball rolling in the hole better. I've hit some good shots and played well in a lot of tournaments, but I haven't been making the 4- or 5-footers and I have not been making the 15- and 20-footers that I've been making the last couple of years.Phil Mickelson
I thought we had won, because I'm an idiot and didn't read the rules of the game. Captain Nicklaus told me on 15 there were no ties. Still didn't get it.

I think Torrey Pines South is the hardest golf course I've ever played day in and day out.
Phil Mickelson
There's a lot of good scores, don't get me wrong, and I'm very happy to be one of them. It wasn't quite as stressful a round. I was able to keep the ball in play and hit a lot of greens in regulation and was able to make a few putts.

After Saturday's round, that's when I'll start thinking about going head-to-head with Woods. The first couple of days, you're not worried about where he's at, but what number it's going to take to win.
Phil Mickelson
I played OK, I'm not disappointed. I don't like shooting over par, but that just means I need to put a good round together tomorrow.

Time and time again I was told that I would never make the film on time and never make it on budget. That kind of criticism tends to turn me into a great big motor of efficiency.

I think most people don't like others who, without a voice of their own, emulate the other. I certainly don't want anybody just to pick up my thoughts and hand them back to me.
