LOVE OF THE GAME

By Charles Howell III
Interviewed By Mark Soltau
Photo By J.D. Cuban - When he was the golf coach at Oklahoma State, Mike Holder said if he did his job well, I'd love golf just as much or more when I left school. That didn't make much sense to me then, but now that I've been on the pro tour awhile, I appreciate how important it is to love golf even when it feels like a job.

ON TIGER
- I once beat him in a putting contest, but I've never played a practical joke on him. I'm scared of what would come back the other way. It'd be one of those "win the battle but lose the war" situations.

THERE WAS NO PLAN B

STOCKING UP
- Every time I'm home practicing at Isleworth Country Club, I grab a bunch of long tees and pitch-mark repair tools. I lose them all the time, so I take extra big handfuls.
