On the course, I sometimes eat a little sandwich or a slow-release energy bar – one on the front nine and one on the back nine. You’re out there five hours, so you have to keep eating.

You know, my first nine years I only played for two teams, Chicago and New York.

But from there it’s kind of been a roller coaster.
